Researchers at Sechenov University in Moscow have created a novel technique aimed at restoring damaged gum tissue using the patient's own cells along with biocompatible polymer materials and 3D bioprinting technology.
The scientists have described this method as promising and effective for treating various oral cavity diseases, particularly in light of the challenges associated with repairing damaged tissues and the lack of permanent integration of synthetic materials in the patient's body.
According to Svetlana Ribina, a dental surgeon and associate professor in the Department of Surgical Dentistry, this technique can repair gum tissues affected by various diseases or cover defects resulting from injuries and surgical procedures. She emphasized that this approach goes beyond mere implantation, as it involves living tissue that integrates with the patient's body, cultivated from their own cells.
