For the last decade many experimental and clinical data about the study and application of regenerative medicine methods in the maxillofacial surgery were accumulated. For better bone regeneration mesenchymal stem cells are often used. Considering the general wariness of researchers in some aspects of cell therapy, methods of study of mesenchymal stem cells and the technologies of its clinical application are constantly being upgraded. This review will consider methods of tissue engineering used to regenerate bone tissue defects in maxillofacial surgery.
