[Development of periodontal tissue engineering].
OBJECTIVE
To review the literature about the development of the periodontal tissue engineering.


METHODS
Based on an extensive review of the latest literature concerned, we analyzed and evaluated the method of the periodontal tissue engineering.


RESULTS
The development of the periodontal tissue engineering in the fields of the seed cells, modifier genes, cell factors, and scaffold materials provided a brand-new thinking and method for complete regeneration of the periodontal tissues.


CONCLUSIONS
The periodontal tissue engineering has an excellent future but many problems still require a further study and a satisfactory solution.
