Description of Subtheme:
In vivo Tissue Regeneration targets the clinical application of different regenerative strategies in dental practice aiming the restoration of dental paradental tissues to their normal structure and function.
Current studies are performed in order to evaluate the efficacy of new regenerative techniques in the clinical setting. These projects introduce cell-free therapy based on bioactive scaffolds and molecules to induce the re-establishment of lost periodontal tissues including the alveolar bone, periodontal ligaments, and cementum.
The effectiveness of these methods is investigated clinically, histopathologically and by radiographs. Moreover, studies are currently investigating the efficacy of the regenerative dental and periodontal tissues, in addition to the comparison between various regenerative techniques and materials. Furthermore, the influence of similar substances’ origin whether exogenous or endogenous, natural or synthetic is currently being tested by several clinical trials. The regeneration of lost dental and paradental tissue ensures the restoration of proper dental functions and subsequent mastication and digestion therefore providing enhanced oral health and wellbeing. Several master theses in different specialties including Oral surgery and periodontology divisions are applying these strategies in vivo studies.
