Abstract :
Tooth tissue engineering has been proposed as a method for replacement of missing teeth in future.
Although, there are still a lot of both physical and biological limitations in tooth tissue engineering
technology, several progresses of research techniques have been reported. Recently, research article
published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences USA illustrated potential application of
tooth tissue engineering using mice as a pre-clinical model. The aim of this review was to summarize
and discuss this recent research article regarding the advance technology and technique in tooth tissue
engineering.
