For those with TMJ problems, I found this nice article (http://bme.ucdavis.edu/athanasioulab/files/2014/04/Tissue-Engineering-of-the-Temoromandibular-Joint_2011_Willard.pdf) on tissue engineering.

another 20 years for clinical application? That's my prediction. They're thinking about engineering the entire TMJ and they can't even fill in bloody black triangles yet. Sometimes I think all these papers are just something to give scientists something to do.

The black triangles are a bony defect (http://www.burbankdentalimplants.com/the-triangle-of-gums-between-teeth-and-implants/), right? If so, then why wouldn't that be amenable to guided bone regeneration?

I sort of agree. Pinning your hopes on these "advancements" is a mug's game. If a treatment has not been done on human subjects, it might as well not exist.
