ABSTRACT

Since time immemorial, man has strived to restore the lost functionality of missing dental organs. The greatest dream of dentistry is to be able to replace the materials used today with biological cell-based materials with an identical or similar composition, so as to enable lost tissue to be regenerated or repaired. Recent publications have emphasized the use of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC) as a possible solution to the ever-controversial issue of obtaining and using such cells. This is just one of the many possibilities for future research that have become apparent. Since it is the most successful, the application of these techniques in the field of dentistry would be the best way to reach the coveted dream of restoring lost tissue. This is just one of the ways in which dental bioengineering is opening up new horizons in the hope of achieving better results that will have a positive impact on our population’s health.
