Tissue Engineering Essay

864 Words4 Pages

Tissue Engineering is the science whose object is the physiological regeneration of a biological tissue in laboratory conditions (invitro) and directly in patients (invivo). The physiological regeneration is achieved through the cultivation of the patient's cells inside tissue scaffolds. The scaffolds are the "womb," inside of which the cells multiply and are supported, in order to regenerate tissue while, at the same time, the scaffold is decomposed in non-toxic products. The successful decomposition of the scaffolds, during the development of the tissue, is based on the use of bio-materials, particularly polymers, which share the same attributes in biocompatibility and biodegrability. The tissue scaffolds are manufactured with many methods, and among them are rapid prototyping techniques, that manufacture the scaffolds in layers. The most common among them is the Selective Laser Sintering, SLS), 3D Printing and stereolithography (SLA), which seem to constantly gain ground in the tissue engineering field. …show more content…

The procedure initiates with the study of the object of interest, which is the human skull. Next is the research regarding the conventional methods of restoration and the biomaterials that will be used. From this research, conclusions are drawn regarding the usefulness of the methods of Tissue Engineering. …show more content…

In the end, the objects that were created from the application are presented, and particularly a digital one from the restoration implant. Their usefulness and the conclusions of the procedure are
