Tissue engineering is a multidisciplinary scientific area that has the therapeutic purpose of restoring, replacing, or increasing the functional activities of organic tissues. Objective: This work aims to review the literature on tissue engineering in oral and maxillofacial procedures. Methods: A bibliographic search was conducted in PubMed MEDLINE, Google Scholar, and LILACS, using the terms “stem cells,” “bone regeneration,” and “tissue growth factors.” Results: In total, 193 positive results were obtained, of which 24 were used for this paper. Discussion: Several biomaterials capable of promoting bone neoformation have been described. They need to be adequately manipulated and have the right architecture and achieve the synergy of the various properties. Conclusions: Scaffolds have the widest uses, and selecting one does not depend on the material itself.

Tissue engineering is a multidisciplinary scientific area which has the therapeutic purpose of restoring, replacing or increasing the functional activities of organic tissues.Objectives: The objective of this work is to review the literature on tissue engineering at the level of the bucomaxilofacial area. Methods: A bibliographic search was carried out through the portals PubMed MEDLINE, Google Scholar and LILACS, using the terms “stem cells, bone regeneration and tissue growth factors”. Results: 193 positive results were obtained, of which 24 were used for the development of this work. Discussion: Several biomaterials capable of promoting bone neoformation have been exposed, its correct manipulation, the conformation of an adequate architecture and the synergy of the various properties being essential. Conclusions: Scaffolds are the ones that offer the greatest offer for their use and the choice of each one does not depend on the material itself.
