| Description | The oral and maxillofacial regions are complex areas since they are composed of different tissues. These regions can be affected by abroad range of pathologies, congenital defects, oncologic resection, trauma and infections (Susarla et al. 2011). The current strategies involve the use of allogenic, xenogeneic and autogenic grafts (Wang et al. 2005). However, there are drawbacks regarding the graft rejection, transmission of diseases and infection causing regeneration failure. Moreover, the complexity of cranio-maxillofacial tissues is a challenge due to the interactions between different types of tissues, including epithelium, mineralized and non-mineralized connective tissues (Bartold et al. 2000; Aurrekoetxea et al. 2015). Researchers focused on the study of new strategies based on the basic principle of tissue engineering—which means the use of cells, scaffolds and bioactive molecules to regenerate damaged tissues.
