Abstract: Tissue engineering is a new treatment to repair the defects of temporomandibular joint (TMJ). However, current tissue engineering of TMJ is still in the start and focuses on the regeneration and repair of TMJ disc or TMJ condyle. Current research associated with these two tissue structures includes seed cells, scaffolds, and growth factors. This review is to discuss the advance in tissue engineering of TMJ disc and condyle.

Key words: Tissue engineering , Temporomandibular joint disc , Temporomandibular joint condyle
