Abstract There has been a necessity for natural and functional substitutes for lost tissues including the teeth and its supportive structures. The diverse fields of tissue engineering, material science, nanotechnology, and stem cell biology have converged synergistically to provide unprecedented opportunities to characterize and manipulate signalling cascades regulating tissue and organ regeneration. This has revolutionized the health care practice. Stem cells can be coaxed into developing specific tissues or organs to replace ones that have been lost due to disease or disorders.
