Dental tissue regeneration is the application of biological and engineering strategies to restore lost or damaged oral tissues, including alveolar bone, periodontal structures, and the tissues that support dental implants. Rather than simply replacing missing structures with prosthetics, regenerative approaches aim to rebuild functional tissue using grafts, scaffolds, biologically active materials, and the body's own healing capacity, with bone regeneration being central to implant therapy and osseointegration. In implant and reconstructive dentistry, regenerative techniques are frequently employed to augment deficient bone before or during implant placement; examples include sinus augmentation using alloplastic bioactive graft materials, lateral-window sinus lift with hydroxyapatite and beta-tricalcium phosphate grafts, and the socket-shield technique used to preserve tissue during immediate implant placement. Successful regeneration depends on anatomical and biological factors, and decisions are guided by imaging such as cone beam computed tomography to assess bone and identify risk factors in sites like the posterior maxilla. Scholarship in this field examines graft materials, surgical methods, healing and osseointegration, and the anatomical conditions that influence outcomes, through case reports, comparative studies, and reviews. The resulting evidence informs material selection, surgical timing, and protocols intended to improve healing, bone formation, and the long-term stability of regenerated tissues and dental implants.
