Tissue engineering for hard and soft tissue regeneration
Tissue engineering for periodontal hard & soft tissue regeneration
The promising field of periodontal tissue engineering, barely a decade old, is likely to revolutionize periodontics. Cell based man-made skin, the first commercial product of tissue engineering, is already on the market and other variations will soon join it. Recombinant technology has provided us the first fully synthetic powerful growth factor available in periodontics with r-PDGF-BB which has been critically evaluated in all areas of periodontal research. This course will provide an overview of biologically based and live cell based tissue substitutes. Results from human and animal studies using biomimetics and tissue engineering to facilitate root coverage and bone formation will be discussed and human histology will be reviewed. Expanded clinical applications of growth factor influenced wound healing in tissue regeneration will also be presented.
