Abstract

LIPUS has been used by various people who have bone fracture as the instrument of treatment. However, the mechanism of LIPUS has been still elusive. In this chapter, the biological mechanism of LIPUS is described. Furthermore, in oral and maxillofacial region, structures of tissues and organs are very unique and complex in their development and function. This complexity makes difficult for their tissue engineering. Interestingly, mostly dentofacial diseases are implicated by inflammation. In this chapter, cellular or molecular biological mechanism of LIPUS, biological problems in dentofacial bioengineering, and also possibilities of dentofacial bioengineering and anti-inflammatory effects are discussed.
