Abstract
In the first section of this chapter, nasal embryology is described. An understanding of nasal embryology and anatomy is of considerable importance for regenerative medicine of the nose. Most of the components of the nasal and paranasal sinuses arise from the ectodermal germ layer. During the fifth embryonic week, nasal development starts from a small pit, which subsequently deepens to form a cavity. Formation of the soft and hard palate, and fusion of the nasal septum and the palate are completed in the twelfth embryonic week. Differentiation of the nasal respiratory epithelium is almost finished by the twenty-fourth embryonic week. In the second section of this chapter, progress in tissue engineering techniques for nasal reconstruction is summarized. Tissue engineering of the mucosa, cartilage, bone, and skin is essential for complete nasal reconstruction. The final section describes the use of regenerative medicine in restoring olfactory function. The olfactory system has a high intrinsic regenerative capacity; however, many patients experience olfactory disorders. Recent advances in the field of olfactory regenerative medicine are explained.
