Abstract: The tooth is composed of distinct tissues including the outer mineralized enamel layer, the adjacent mineralized dentin layer, the dental pulp is composed of dental mesenchymal cells, nerves, blood vessels, and that has a vulnerable to infection and limited regeneration capacity. Entire pulp amputation followed by filling with an artificial material, cause non vital dental pulp and weakened tooth. Tissue engineering technology refers to combining biological approaches to regenerative medicine with engineering and materials science that has demonstrated promising result using stem cells associated with scaffold and morphogenic factors can use to regenerate pulp tissue.
