The use of tissue engineering in maxillary sinus augmentation: a review
Main Article Content
Abstract
Tissue engineering is an interdisciplinary field that applies the principles of engineering and the life sciences toward the development of biological substitutes that restore, maintain, or improve tissue function. The most studies are focused on the preparation of scaffolds, selection of the different cell sources and construction of engineered bone. The decrease in bone height in the sinus area after tooth loss is a major challenge in implantology, making the search for new materials a constant challenge. Faced with this, the aim of this review article is to discuss the tissue engineering techniques for maxillary sinus lifting in atrophic jaws.
