Next-Generation Dentistry

This book provides a comprehensive exploration of regenerative dentistry a rapidly evolving field that merges stem cell science biomaterials molecular biology and tissue engineering to restore and replace damaged oral and dental structures. It traces the historical development of the discipline reviews the biological basis of tissue regeneration and examines the latest advances in dental stem cell isolation scaffold technology and growth factor delivery systems.Detailed chapters discuss regenerative approaches across dental specialties-including endodontics periodontics implant dentistry orthodontics and maxillofacial surgery-supported by evidence from recent clinical and translational research. The text also addresses contemporary challenges ethical considerations and future directions for integrating regenerative therapies into routine practice.Designed for dental students clinicians researchers and policy-makers this resource bridges the gap between laboratory discoveries and clinical applications highlighting how biologically based strategies can revolutionize patient care and improve oral health outcomes worldwide.
