Molecular features and tissue engineering techniques applied to regenerative surgery: an overview of recent data

Minerva Dent Oral Sci. 2021 Jun;70(3):119-127. doi: 10.23736/S2724-6329.21.04517-9.

Abstract

Introduction: Regenerative procedures have become common in the medical and dentistry rehabilitation fields. Often, tissue regeneration maneuvers are necessary to rehabilitate patients in a safe and predictable manner. The aim of this narrative review was to highlight the molecular implications during regenerative surgery.

Evidence acquisition: The analysis of the literature was conducted on the main scientific databases Pubmed, Scopus, MDPI.

Evidence synthesis: After a screening of 66 results only 8 were included.

Conclusions: Knowing these molecular features, it is possible to highlight which are the biomaterials that offer greater potential and identify the best protocols according to the surgical needs.
