For the rehabilitation of patients with edentulous jaws, immediate loading of endosseous implants is becoming a widespread therapeutic procedure. Over the conventional open flap technique, minimally invasive surgical implant placement has numerous advantages. Several techniques to restore anterior teeth have been developed as a result of increasing demand of patients looking for esthetics. This case report describes esthetic rehabilitation of a partially edentulous patient following the principles of minimally invasive implant dentistry as well as esthetic dentistry.

Objective: To collect and conclude a literature review on the applications of tissue engineering in oral and maxillofacial rehabilitation Materials and Methods: The review was searched and collected from many sources about tissue engineering. The database of Literature was collected through the search of PubMed, Google scholar and Researchgate databases. The keywords used for the search were tissue engineering, dental applications, prosthodontics, implant dentistry and craniofacial rehabilitation. A manual search to many of the reference lists of the identified articles and the authors article files and recent reviews was made to find additional publications. Those studies that showed new features about tissue engineering were included in this review. Results: In total 28 literature sources were searched and reviewed. Studies that described new features about elements and strategies of tissue engineering and its applications were included. Conclusion: We summarized in this study the key elements and strategies of tissue engineering and its applications in oral and maxillofacial rehabilitation.
