The concept of bone tissue engineering, which began in the early 1980s, has seen tremendous growth in the numbers of research studies. One of the key areas of research has been in the field of implant surgery, where the challenge is to produce the perfect tissue-engineered bone construct. This practical review summarizes applied state-of-the-art research in the important translational research that has already been initiated in Nagoya University Hospital. The topics that will be covered include, clinical applications in alveolar regeneration for dental implant, tumors surgery and distraction osteogenesis. Although significant challenges remain, there exists an exceptional opportunity to translate basic research in tissue engineering technologies into viable clinical treatments for bone regeneration in implant surgery.
