Regenerative dentistry is an advancing discipline within the dental profession. Tissue engineering, the cornerstone of regenerative dentistry, primarily emphasizes three essential components: stem cells, bioactive compounds, and scaffolds. Stem cells produced from dental tissue are particularly important owing to their exceptional characteristics. Regenerative treatments have introduced innovative methods to several traditional treatment tactics across dental professions. Bone tissue injuries in oral and dental contexts frequently pose significant challenges, as traditional treatments may fail to restore lost or damaged bone tissue completely. Regenerative endodontic procedures, such as pulp revascularization, offer an alternative to conventional root canal treatment. Furthermore, traditional surgical and nonsurgical periodontal therapies are being supplanted by enhanced methods of directed tissue regeneration facilitated by three-dimensional bioprinting and computer-aided design (CAD), which have transformed oral and maxillofacial tissue engineering.

Keywords: regenerative dentistry, dental stem cells, bioactive materials, tissue engineering, 3D bioprinting
