Abstract

Introduction: the desire to create biological alternatives for permanent implantation of synthetic materials has inspired the field of tissue engineering, which as one of the pillars of regenerative medicine expands the possibilities for research and clinical application in the dental industry.

Objective: to review the literature on tissue engineering and regenerative medicine strut in Stomatology.

Procedures employed in the collection of information: we performed a review in the period between May and June 2013. Impact journals were evaluated Web of Sciences (43 journals) and 2 Cuban magazines. Were consulted databases referativos systems such as MEDLINE, PubMed and SciELO with the use of descriptors such as "dentistry tissue engineering", "regenerative medicine", "biomaterials", "scaffolds", "nanotechnology" and their counterparts in Spanish. We included articles in English and Spanish and publications of the last five years. 127 articles were obtained, confined the study to 55 that focused these issues more comprehensively. Book was reviewed.

Results: by analyzing the behavior of the items regarding their representation in various scientific journals where they were published, 5.45% of them corresponded, respectively, to the International Journal of Nanomedicine and Biomatter. Other items were evenly distributed among the other magazines.

Conclusions: multiple publications are addressing the issue of tissue engineering in biomedical branches and particularly in Stomatology and all agree in general terms that the investigation of the biology of modern biomaterials CM and has created exciting opportunities for regeneration and therapy based on tissue engineering. The correct handling of the elements of tissue engineering, with the signaling system tissue, nanomaterials, management systems, and biomaterials CM expands the possibilities of application in modern and future Stomatology.
