About this Research Topic
Currently, repair and regeneration of tooth defects caused by teeth injuries, periodontitis, enamel demineralization, and dental tubule occlusion is still a big challenge in clinical. To improve the effects of teeth tissue repair and regeneration, various therapeutic strategies including the evolution of surgical techniques, biomaterials, and teeth tissue engineering have been developed recently. Yet, only limited therapies of medical technology and biomaterials have achieved clinical applications. Therefore, it remains highly demanded to develop novel biomaterials and therapeutic technologies to accelerate structural repair and functional regeneration of tooth tissue, and ultimately facilitate their further clinical translation.
This Research Topic on “Advanced Biomaterials Applied to Teeth Implant, Periodontitis, and Biomineralization” is to present the latest advances in the field of teeth tissue engineering and the significant progress of the therapies of medical techniques for teeth tissue repair and regeneration. The Research Topic will accept original papers and reviews relevant to novel biomaterials and advanced technology, such as dental implants, 3D printing implants, enamel remineralization and regeneration, dental tubule occlusion related to biomaterials, as well as other periodontitis therapeutic approaches using biofilm and drug clinically.
The topics and themes of this Research Topic include, but are not limited to, the followings:
• the design of novel biomaterials for the regeneration of artificial teeth
• novel mechanical model and analysis studies on the dental implant
• advanced biomaterials and methods for enamel mineralization and dental tubules occlusion
• advanced biofilm for periodontitis therapy, including loaded drug and clinical treatment
• interaction of organic proteins or macromolecules with biomaterials for teeth tissue regeneration
• 3D techniques in teeth design and manufacturing
• dental implant osseointegration
• tissue engineering for in vitro construction of artificial teeth
