Periodontal disease is a major public health issue and the development of effective therapies to treat the disease and regenerate periodontal tissue is an important goal of today's medicine. Regeneration of periodontal tissue is perhaps one of the most complex process to occur in the body. Langer and colleagues proposed tissue engineering as a possible technique for regenerating the lost periodontal tissues. Concerted efforts have been and still are being made to accelerate and augment periodontal tissue and bone regeneration. More recently, tissue-engineering strategies, including new cell- and=or matrix-based dimensions, are also being developed, analyzed, and employed for periodontal regenerative therapies. The focus of this review paper is to furnish and update the current knowledge of periodontal tissue engineering.
Key words: Cells; periodontal regeneration; scaffolds; tissue engineering.
