[Cellular engineering in periodontology].

An overview of various cell engineering techniques being developed for modern conservative and reconstructive periodontology is presented. The accelerated development of cellular engineering technologies poses to medicine and, in particular, periodontics, the task of early implementation of the results of such experiments into patient management protocols. The main groups of promising techniques that are closest to practical healthcare are: isolation and use of stem cells; synthesis of biologically active (inductive) signaling molecules; development of scaffolds that ensure three-dimensional tissue growth.
