Review Articles
Review articles are useful because they give a summary
of research done
E.g. : Biomaterials in Tooth Tissue Engineering: A Review
Sharma, S., Srivastava, D., Grover, S., Sharma, V. 2014 in Journal of Clinical
and Diagnostic Research 8 (1), pp. 309-315
“The traditional top down strategy in tissue engineering aims at
seeding cells …
“.. Currently, two approaches are considered for tooth
regeneration: (a) Scaffold based approach …”
