Trends of regenerative tissue engineering for oral and maxillofacial reconstruction in veterinary medicine

Steven Dwi Purbantoro et al. Front Vet Sci. .

Abstract

Oral and maxillofacial (OMF) defects are not limited to humans and are often encountered in other species. Reconstructing significant tissue defects requires an excellent strategy for efficient and cost-effective treatment. In this regard, tissue engineering comprising stem cells, scaffolds, and signaling molecules is emerging as an innovative approach to treating OMF defects in veterinary patients. This review presents a comprehensive overview of OMF defects and tissue engineering principles to establish proper treatment and achieve both hard and soft tissue regeneration in veterinary practice. Moreover, bench-to-bedside future opportunities and challenges of tissue engineering usage are also addressed in this literature review.

Keywords: maxillofacial regeneration; oral and maxillofacial defects; oral and maxillofacial reconstruction; tissue engineering; veterinary.
