Regenerative Dental Medicine

The regenerative dental medicine in dentistry stream conducts a wide range of translational research. It includes molecular biology, tissue engineering and stem cells focusing on replacement, engineer or regeneration of damaged tissues or organs thereby restoring normal functionality of organs. Tissue regeneration in the pulp chamber is not possible for all teeth.

The practice of dentistry is likely to be revolutionized by biological therapies based on growth and differentiation factors that accelerate or induce a natural biological regeneration. It has been very successful in treating children’s adult teeth when vitality is lost due to trauma. Dentistry has not only been at the forefront of restorative medicine but actually predates it in practice.
