OBJECTIVES: The lack of oral mucosa in oral and maxillofacial surgery for intraoral grafting
after trauma or tumor resection can be balanced by tissue-engineered oral mucosa. The aim …

Reconstruction of large oral mucosa defects is often challenging, since the shortage of
healthy oral mucosa to replace the excised tissues is very common. In this context, tissue …

Objective The limited availability of autogenous oral mucosa in oral and maxillofacial
surgery for intraoral grafting after trauma or tumor resection can be balanced by the use of …

Tissue-engineered oral mucosa, in the form of epithelial cell sheets or full-thickness oral
mucosa equivalents, is a potential solution for many patients with congenital defects or with …

Many conditions, including cancer, trauma, and congenital anomalies, can damage the oral
mucosa. Multiple cultures of oral mucosal cells have been used for biocompatibility tests and …

This review contains the systematized data on the development and application of tissue
engineering methods to generate in vitro oral mucosa (OM) tissues and its full-thickness …

Background and Objective Oral mucosa shortage may limit or condition some clinical
approaches in maxillofacial, periodontal and implant treatment. The availability of a human …

Oral mucosa primarily acts as a barrier against the external harmful environments. Loss of its
barrier function due to diseases or injury will cause significant dysfunction within the oral …

The lack of sufficient oral mucosa available for intra‐oral grafting is a major surgical
problem, and new sources of oral tissues for clinical use are needed. In this regard, some …

Several studies have developed efficient oral mucosa constructs using different types of
scaffold. However, the changes in the morphology and gene and protein expression profile …
