Abstract

The tooth is a complex organ of the Oral cavity that develops from a interaction of processes, cells and signalling factors. The tooth is an important organ of the body with respect to its primary functions of biting, chewing as also its supplementary functions of aesthetics and phonetics. Loss of teeth not only poses a significant burden on the health system but also reduces the human quality of life. Current Dental treatments, though have advanced over a period of time, have an inherent inadequacy not being at par with the natural tooth tissues - enamel, dentin, cementum, pulp, periodontal ligament, alveolar bone and gingiva.
As opposed to the conventional dental treatments, regenerative dentistry aims to mimic natural dental tissues and help have a natural replacement of dental tissues. The ambitious aim of regenerative dentistry has been the regeneration of the entire tooth. However, with the limited resources and technology at hand, tooth regeneration seemed a long way to go. However, with the advent and disruption of Artificial Intelligence across several domains of dentistry, tooth regeneration now looks a promising possibility.
