Dental Pulp Stem Cells for Bone Tissue Engineering: A Literature Review

Figure 4

Bone tissue material scaffold. Degradable materials: polylactic acid, polyglycolic acid, copolymer polylactic glycolic acid, collagen sponge, collagen membrane, hydroxyapatite and polylactic acid composite, hydroxyapatite, and collagen composite. These materials will decompose in the human body and be removed by metabolites. Nondegradable materials: tantalum, titanium, magnesium, polymethyl methacrylate, polyurethane, polylactide, polyglycolide, polycaprolactone, hydroxyapatite, tricalcium phosphate, and bioceramics. These materials will not decompose in the body but will always exist.
