Tissue Engineering and Regeneration in Dentistry: Current Strategies

Tissue Engineering and Regeneration in Dentistry: Current Strategies presents a thorough update on the current advances, methods and understanding in tissue engineering in dentistry. It provides a contemporary literature review that details basic underlying principles, key findings, scientific evidence, and current hypotheses. In addition, it offers invaluable tools, case studies, and methodologies for undertaking research, including important biological and practical considerations to facilitate successful migration of research from the bench to the clinic.

With contributions from leading experts in craniofacial and dental stem cell research and tissue engineering, chapters cover induced pluripotent stem cell technologies, immunomodulation by adult stem cells, the potential of mesenchymal stem cells, tissue culture models and periodontal tissue engineering. Suitable for both researchers and clinicians, protocols are included throughout to highlight the practical applications of the research.

Uniquely dedicated to the science of Tissue Engineering and Regeneration in Dentistry this is a must-have read for researchers and specialist clinicians in tissue engineering, oral biology, dental materials science, periodontology and oral surgery.
