| description | The aim of this study was to gain knowledge about ligaplants which is a recent advancement in the field of implant dentistry. Dental implants are being increasingly used to replace missing teeth among individuals. Regeneration of periodontal ligament (PDL) attachment around implants is under consideration to overcome the shortcomings of osseointegrated implants, and it is now emerging as a new beneficial method for replacing missing teeth. In the last few years, tissue engineering has led to the formation of a PDL around the dental implant called “ligaplants.” Various studies have been carried out in vitro and on test animals. These studies have shown that PDL cells have great potential for regeneration and re-establish connective tissue attachment. The various cells contained in the PDL play a crucial role in the optimal functionality of the tooth bone apparatus. This review article features the advantages and benefits of dental implants when combined with the PDL in comparison with conventional osseointegrated implants. Ligaplants are prepared by combining the biomaterial used in conventional implants with the PDL cells, which provides better biological performance and increases the lifespan of the prosthesis. |
