Abstract EN
The ultimate goal of any dental treatment is the regeneration of lost tissues and alveolar bone.
Under the appropriate culture conditions, periosteal cells secrete extracellular matrix and form a membranous structure.
The periosteum can be easily harvested from the patient's own oral cavity, where the resulting donor site wound is invisible.
Owing to the above reasons, the periosteum offers a rich cell source for bone tissue engineering; hence, the regenerative potential of periosteum is immense.
Although the use of periosteum as a regenerative tool has been extensive in general medical field, the regenerative potential of periosteum is highly underestimated in dentistry; therefore, the present paper reviews the current literature related to the regenerative potential of periosteum and gives an insight to the future use of periosteum in dentistry.
