Abstract

In the last decade many new developments have been made in hard tissue engineering. The regeneration of hard tissues, like bones and teeth, has always been challenging for bioengineering. Many researchers have used various biomaterials for engineering of mineralized (hard) tissue. The specific biological, structural and biochemical properties of biomaterials attract scientists to use them for regeneration of hard tissue. Furthermore, nanobiomaterials show self-assembly that can be used for cell three-dimensional cultures as well as tissue generation in vivo. In this chapter, we present hard tissue regeneration technologies and applications of nanobiomaterials in hard tissue engineering. The chapter focuses on the various nanobiomaterials used for tissue engineering and their modification for enhancement of scaffold properties. The chapter also summarizes the advantages and disadvantages of various nanobiomaterials and their future prospects in regenerative therapy.
