This chapter focuses and reviews on the characteristics and biomedical application of chitosan and collagen from marine products and advantages and disadvantages of regeneration medicine. The understanding of the production processes of chitosan and collagen and the conformation of these biomaterials are indispensable for promoting the theoretical and practical availability. The initial inflammatory reactions associated with chitosan application to hard and soft tissues need to be controlled before it can be considered for clinical application as scaffold. Further, as chitosan takes too long for biodegradation in vivo, generally it is not suitable for the scaffold for degenerative medicine in especially dental pulp tissue. The collagen extract from the scales of tropical fish has been reported to have a degeneration temperature of 35 degrees C. The properties of biocompatibility and biodegradation of fish atelocollagen are suitable for the scaffold in regenerative medicine.
