Igor Malyshev, Dentistry: Case Report
Natural amelogenesis and the justification of the technology of enamel regeneration with the help of
robotic bioprinting of tissues in situ
Loss of teeth because of diseases and injuries leads to disruption of the primary processing of food and reproduction of
speech, worsens the aesthetic appearance and, in general, the health and quality of life of the individual. Damage to enamel
and caries are the main causes of diseases and tooth loss. The disadvantages of modern methods of caries and enamel damages
treatment gave birth to the idea of growing biological equivalents of dental tissues with the help of tissue engineering methods.
At the same time, it becomes more and more obvious that it is possible to restore a full-fledged dental tissue only taking into
account the laws of natural development of this tissue. Based on an understanding of the molecular and cellular mechanisms
of amelogenesis, we proposed the development of a substantially innovative technology for dentistry, the technology of robotic
3D bioprinting of enamel in situ. In this technology, a robotic arm can insert a small bioprinting head into the oral cavity with
injectors for cells and materials and provide an accurate position of the head over the tooth. After that, the bioprinting head
can produce a precision print in the area of the enamel defect. To develop a clinical version of the technology, several problems
need to be solved. Technologies of robotic 3D bioprinting of enamel in situ can provide advantages in comparison with existing
methods of treatment, for example, they will increase life span of dental bio fillings for lifetime, reduce the probability of tooth
split and penetration into the pulp chamber, and reduce the negative consequences of the human factor associated with low
professionalism, tremor of hands and inattention of the dentist. There is reason to believe that in the next decade regenerative
dentistry will become an integral component of the treatment of many intractable dental diseases, and the technologies of
robotic 3D bioprinting in situ will allow restoring not only individual tooth tissues but the entire tooth complex.
