Obstacles Of Dental Bioengineering

Obstacles of Dental Bioengineering

Introduction

For several centuries, the human being has tried to restore the functions affected by dental loss by replacing these organs with artificial elements. The results have been successful despite the little scientific advance that presented the primitive context in which they were developed;But in the search for perfection, and the hand of scientific advances, these dental substitutes have been sophisticated in the course of the last decades. However, the search for a biological substitute based on cells and tissue regeneration has aroused the restlessness of researchers.

Developing

In the effort to create a "biodiente" that restores the functions of a lost natural tooth, scientific advances have granted the possibility of creating biomaterials, modifying cell behavior and genetically altering cells to create tissues that resemble those who make up those who make upThe dental complex. Mainly the study of stem cells with very good results has predominant, however, we are still far from being able to manipulate the results with precision and, further to be able to implement these solutions in humans.

The first barrieCellular communication molecules so complex that they are not yet fully understood;All this ends in an inflammatory response of rejection. In some cases this foreign response is exaggerated, such as organ transplantation, and in other cases the answer is minimal, such is the case of dental implants.

However, the progress of genetic manipulation in embryonic and adult stem cells has exposed amazing results in tissue repair and regenerative medicine. There are cellular components with a lotcan be applied in animals and later in humans.

conclusion

Obviously, there are risks in the manipulation of cell components that can reach the formation of teratomas or malignant tumors that compromise the objective that is sought, but we have faith that the compression of the functioning of the cell will be available to science in someyears and that such negative health events can be avoided or controlled in some way.

There is still much to clarify these doubts and it is clear that we are on the way following an adequate way to solve these unknowns that can greatly help the population, which sometimes, for many reasons they cannot be candidates for more conventional treatments such asremovable prosthesis or more modern treatments such as the placement of osteointegrated and functional dental implants.
