TLDR
This book chapter aims to address the advancement of tissue engineering for different dental hard and soft tissues, such as enamel, dentin, bone, periodontium, oral mucosa, and salivary glands.
Abstract
Tissue engineering is a novel and multidisciplinary field that intends to remake functional, sound tissues and organs to supplant unhealthy or dead tissues. The advancement of tissue engineering for dental tissues is promising, and different dental soft and hard tissues have been regenerated effectively in vitro, utilizing stem cells and scaffolds. In almost any tissue engineering application, there are various challenges and unanswered inquiries that should be settled for further advancements. It is expected that in the next few decades, the field of dentistry will be altered remarkably by the accessibility of novel tissue-engineered products in the dental industry. This book chapter aims to address the advancement of tissue engineering for different dental hard and soft tissues, such as enamel, dentin, bone, periodontium, oral mucosa, and salivary glands. Additionally, challenges in the advancement of tissue engineering and future trends have been summarized in this book chapter.

New attachment following surgical treatment of human periodontal disease.

TL;DR: The hypothesis that new connective tissue attachment may form on a previously periodontitis involved root surface provided cells originating from the periodontal ligament are enabled to repopulate the root surface during healing is tested and the concept that theperiodontitis affected root surface is a major preventive factor for new attachment is invalid.
