“…Previous attempts to use alloplastic materials have resulted in unsatisfactory outcomes, including increased joint pathology, among other complications. [124][125][126][127] Several autogenous tissues, such as temporalis muscle, auricular cartilage, dermis, and abdominal adipose tissue, have been used as replacement materials, but only short-term success has been reported. [128][129][130][131][132][133][134] In addition, the use of these tissues has been associated with donor site morbidity, the eventual formation of scar tissue, decreased range of motion of the mandible, and additional joint pathology.…”

“…Above all, this matrix must be biocompatible and ideally will be biodegradable such that with time regenerated tissue will replace the biomaterial component of the system, resulting in functional, healthy tissues approximating those of the premorbid individual and avoiding long term implant failure requiring subsequent retrieval (Figure 2). [132] A large number of materials have been developed and applied in vitro and in animal models towards this end; we will highlight a number of those materials in the next section to introduce promising materials and fabrication/synthetic strategies for creating injectable tissue engineering scaffolds.…”

Injectable Biomaterials for Regenerating Complex Craniofacial Tissues

et al. 2009

Engineering complex tissues requires a precisely formulated combination of cells, spatiotemporally released bioactive factors, and a specialized scaffold support system. Injectable materials, particularly those delivered in aqueous solution, are considered ideal delivery vehicles for cells and bioactive factors and can also be delivered through minimally invasive methods and fill complex 3D shapes. In this review, we examine injectable materials that form scaffolds or networks capable of both replacing tissue function early after delivery and supporting tissue regeneration over a time period of weeks to months. The use of these materials for tissue engineering within the craniofacial complex is challenging but ideal as many highly specialized and functional tissues reside within a small volume in the craniofacial structures and the need for minimally invasive interventions is desirable due to aesthetic considerations. Current biomaterials and strategies used to treat craniofacial defects are examined, followed by a review of craniofacial tissue engineering, and finally an examination of current technologies used for injectable scaffold development and drug and cell delivery using these materials.

Several recent advancements have occurred regarding engineering replacements for tissues of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). This review specifically summarizes the in vitro technological developments for TMJ meniscus tissue engineering followed by an in-depth look at in vivo studies for the regeneration of the TMJ meniscus, with a focus on large animal models. One recent study used mini-pigs to study implants placed into a partial thickness defects of the TMJ meniscus. The authors investigated the use of allogeneic costal chondrocytes in scaffold-free TMJ implants. Implants were found to be well integrated and the mechanical strength of the defects was more robust in the implanted meniscus than in untreated defects. Two recently published studies in a canine model showed that an extracellular matrix bioscaffold derived from porcine urinary bladder was an effective material for reconstruction of the TMJ meniscus. The composition and mechanical properties of the remodeled tissue were similar to that of the native meniscus. It is important to note that the half-life of these replaced meniscus is unknown, and that successful repair is dependent on identifying the cause for internal derangement. In the future, a large animal model that includes both healthy and pathogenic sites of implantation needs further investigation.
