Over the last two decades, tissue engineering has evolved from science fiction to science. So Biological solutions to biological problems is emerging as a new paradigm shift in medicine as well as dentistry.Tissue engineering is a contemporary area of applied biomedical research aimed at developing procedures and biomaterials for the fabrication of new tissues to replace damaged tissues and is based on the principles of cell biology, developmental biology and aims to replace dead or dying ones. This may be achieved either by transplanting cells seeded into a porous material or scaffold having open pores or by relying on in growth of cells into such a material, which in both cases develops into normal tissue.Recently, there has been an increasing interest in applying the concept of tissue engineering to endodontics.
