“… It acts like a shock absorber, giving the tooth some movement in the socket It also provides proprioception The PDL also has an important interaction with the adjacent bone, playing the role of the periosteum, at the bone side facing the root It contains vital cells such as osteoclasts, osteoblasts, fibroblasts, cementoblasts, cementoclasts, and most importantly, the undifferentiated mesenchymal stem cells These cells are all important in the dynamic relationship between the tooth and the bone.

“…i.e., the temperature, the cells that are used for culturing, the duration of the culturing, and others. If some problem evokes during the culturing, the ligaplants may fail as other nonperiodontal cells may develop Besides, the cost of this implant is high due to limited facilities The factors affecting the host to accept the implant or the growth of PDL in the socket is unpredictable, which may result in failure of implant[ 6 ] The prolonged cell culturing may favor the appearance of non-PDL cell types.

“…In the field of periodontal regeneration, debates still exist on the type of cells possessing the capability of forming new cementum on previously exposed root surfaces. Some authors reported[ 7 9 ] that cells residing in the alveolar bone are responsible for cementum production, whereas some investigators[ 5 6 ] reported that only PDL cells can produce cementum, revealing the significance of PDL around dental implants.

Replacement of the missing tooth with an implant has gained popularity among patients. The advent of periodontal tissue engineering has brought about a revolution not only in the field of periodontology but also in the field of implant dentistry at large. Currently, the development of a periodontal ligament (PDL) attachment around dental implants has now become an important new therapeutic tool to replace lost teeth. PDL houses various vital cells that are important in the dynamic relationship between the tooth and the bone. Thus, ligaplants are now an available option to improve the biological performance and to prolong the life of the prosthesis.

Missing teeth can be substituted by the use of the dental implants. This treatment modality has been proven to be a gold standard for replacement of the missing tooth in the past decade. The most widely used implants in the current scenario are the osseointegrated implants with various shortcomings and the most prominent one is the lack of the periodontal ligament. To overcome this, implants with periodontal ligaments can be procured and this can be possible by the application of the tissue engineering concept along with suitable implant material. Tissue engineering has become an integral part of the periodontal therapy and its use has opened various gates in the field of dentistry. A tissue engineered periodontal ligament around the dental implant has been introduced in the past few years and is called as ligaplant. These ligaplants has become a promising option that can provide good biological performance leading to an increased life of the prosthesis. This review article highlights the advantages of the periodontal ligament combined dental implants in comparison to the conventional implants and also the process of their procurement has been discussed.
