Abstract

Biomaterials have revolutionized regenerative dentistry, providing innovative tissue restoration and repair solutions. This review discusses the latest advancements in biomaterials and their applications in dental regeneration, including bone, periodontal, and soft tissue regeneration. Biomaterials such as bioactive ceramics, polymers, and composites offer significant advantages due to their biocompatibility, biodegradability, and ability to promote cellular response, leading to enhanced tissue repair. Recent developments in bioengineered scaffolds, growth factors, and stem cell technology have opened new avenues for regenerating complex dental structures with improved functional and aesthetic outcomes. Key challenges in biomaterial application, such as integration with native tissues, potential immunogenicity, and clinical efficacy, are explored, alongside strategies to overcome these limitations. This review underscores the potential of biomaterials in advancing regenerative dentistry and highlights future directions for optimizing biomaterial design to improve clinical outcomes in dental tissue engineering.
