REGENERATIVE DENTISTRY – RESTORATION OF DENTAL TISSUE AND IMPLANTATION USING BIOMATERIALS
Abstract
Regenerative dentistry is an emerging field that focuses on restoring damaged dental tissues and enhancing oral health using advanced biomaterials and innovative techniques. This study explores the current strategies for dental tissue regeneration, including scaffold-based approaches, stem cell therapy, and bioactive materials for tooth repair and implantation. The application of biomaterials in regenerative dentistry not only promotes tissue healing but also improves the long-term success of dental implants. Moreover, this approach minimizes invasive procedures and enhances patient outcomes by supporting natural tooth regeneration processes. The paper also highlights the challenges and future perspectives in the field, emphasizing the potential of combining biotechnology and nanomaterials to achieve more effective and sustainable dental treatments.
