Abstract
Tissue engineering is a rapidly growing interdisciplinary field that focuses on the interactions between cells, growth factors, and scaffolds to produce replacement tissue and organs. Recent developments in tissue engineering technology include refinements in isolation and differentiation of progenitor cells, 3-D printing technology to produce scaffolds, new biomaterials for scaffolds, and growth factor delivery systems. The purpose of this article is to review advances in biomaterials, scaffolds, and implant coatings for craniomaxillofacial (bone) tissue engineering.Entities:
