Abstract
OBJECTIVE
Because of the anatomical complexity of the oral and maxillofacial sites, repairing bone defects in these regions is very difficult. This review article aims to consider the application of biocomposites-based strategies for dental bone regeneration.
STUDY DESIGN
Research papers related to the topic, published over the last 20 years, were selected using the Web of Science, Pubmed, Scopus, and Google Scholar databases.
RESULTS
The strategies of monophasic, biphasic/multiphasic scaffolds, and biopolymer-based nanocomposite scaffolds containing nanomaterials compared with traditional methods used for bone regeneration, such as autografts, allografts, xenografts, and alloplasts are found to be superior because of their ability to overcome the issues (e.g., limited bone sources, pain, immune responses, high cost) related to the applications of the traditional methods.
CONCLUSIONS
In addition, additive manufacturing technologies were found to be highly advantageous for improving the efficacy of biocomposite scaffolds for treating dental bone defects.
