A paradigm shift has taken place in utilising electrospun nanofibres for tooth restoration and dento-oral regeneration. Use of electrospun fibres and their scaffolds in dento-oral applications involves several considerations, including choice of material, fibre orientation, porosity, surface modification and tissue application. Choices of materials include both natural and synthetic materials and a combination of both and ...
