In dentistry, bone regeneration in areas following tooth loss, the removal of a tumor or cyst, and craniofacial surgery can be accomplished by using bone grafts. Many biocompatible materials have been employed for bone regeneration in dentistry; however, all these bone graft materials come with various drawbacks. Therefore, there is a growing demand for natural, cost-effective, and biocompatible plant-based bone grafts. This review explores the emerging field of phytogenic elements in bone restoration and their specific applications in dentistry. The review focuses on key phytogenic compounds, such as algae-based and plant-based bone substitutes, delineating their roles in bone regeneration in dental bone defects. It also highlights the existing challenges associated with phytogenic grafts, such as limited bioavailability and high-dose toxicity. This calls for increased research into compatible, affordable carriers and a broader spectrum of studies to determine the most effective phytogenic solutions in dental regenerative medicine.

Implanted biomaterials release inorganic ions that trigger inflammatory responses, which recruit immune cells whose biochemical signals affect bone tissue regeneration. In this study, we evaluated how mouse macrophages (RAW264, RAW) and mesenchymal stem cells (KUSA-A1, MSCs) respond to seven types of ions (silicon, calcium, magnesium, zinc, strontium, copper, and cobalt) that reportedly stimulate cells related to bone formation. The collagen synthesis, alkaline phosphatase activity, and osteocalcin production of the MSCs varied by ion dose and type after culture in the secretome of RAW cells.

Osseointegration is a crucial property of biomaterials used for bone defect repair. While titanium is the gold standard in craniofacial surgeries, various polymeric biomaterials are being explored as alternatives. However, polymeric materials can be bioinert, hindering integration with surrounding tissues.

Objectives: Hydroxyapatite (HAp)/collagen (Col) cylinders with laminated collagen layers were implanted into the tibial diaphysis of rats and examined histochemically to clarify how the orientation of HAp and Col bone-like nanocomposite fibers in HAp/Col blocks affects bone resorption and formation.

Methods: HAp/Col fibers were synthesized and compressed into cylindrical blocks to mimic bone nanostructures. These were implanted into the cortical bone cavities of 10-week-old male Wistar rats with fiber bundles parallel to the tibial surface.

In dental implant surgery, infection is identified as the primary factor contributing to the failure of bone grafts. There is an urgent need to develop bone graft materials possessing antibacterial characteristics to facilitate bone regeneration. Magnesium phosphate bone cement (MPC) is highly desirable for bone regeneration due to its favorable biocompatibility, plasticity, and osteogenic capabilities.
