A Current Overview of Scaffold-Based Bone Regeneration Strategies with Dental Stem Cells P{nar Ercal and Gorke Gurel Pekozer Abstract

Keywords

Bone defects due to trauma or diseases still pose a clinical challenge to be resolved in the current tissue engineering approaches. As an alternative to traditional methods to restore bone defects, such as autografts, bone tissue engineering aims to achieve new bone formation via novel biomaterials used in combination with multipotent stem cells and bioactive molecules. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) can be successfully isolated from various dental tissues at different stages of development including dental pulp, apical papilla, dental follicle, tooth germ, deciduous teeth, periodontal ligament and gingiva. A wide range of biomaterials including polymers, ceramics and composites have been investigated for their potential as an ideal bone scaffold material. This article reviews the properties and the manufacturing methods of biomaterials used in bone tissue engineering, and provides an overview of bone tissue regeneration approaches of scaffold and dental stem cell combinations as well as their limitations.

Introduction

Bone deficiencies caused by various reasons, including localized and systemic diseases, congenital and developmental disorders, trauma, tumors or cyst resections, still constitute a challenge in clinical practice (Padial-Molina et al. 2015). Bone tissue engineering studies involve a varied array of bone regeneration approaches such as critical-sized defects to periodontal bone defects. Critical-sized defects pose challenges in clinical practice by creating a large void in bone that cannot heal itself naturally without planned reconstruction and secondary surgery (Schemitsch 2017). Although autogenous bone grafting is the gold standard for treatme
