Abstract:

The world of dentistry has always been evolved at its best. In the recent years, enormous treatment modalities with novel biomaterials have been discovered in regenerative dentistry. Despite all the advancements, however there are few limitations with certain biomaterials. The most recent potential alternative biomaterial and the first to be used in India is the freeze dried umbilical cord allograft (FDUCA). FDUCA is prepared from the placenta along with the umbilical cord from a potential donor after parturition. FDUCA is 10 times thicker than the amnion and chorion membrane and is found to contain enormous amount of growth factors and immunomodulatory factors owing to a great potential in regenerative dentistry. The superior properties of this novel biomaterial in regenerative dentistry brings in an evolution of biomaterials and a boon to dentistry.
