Applications of gene therapy have been evaluated in virtually every oral tissue, and many of these have proved successful at least in animal models. While gene therapy will not be used routinely in the next decade, practitioners of oral medicine should be aware of the potential of this novel type of treatment that doubtless will benefit many patients with oral diseases.
基因治疗已在几乎所有口腔组织中进行了评估,其中许多在动物模型中已被证明是成功的。虽然在未来十年基因治疗不会被常规使用,但口腔医学从业者应该意识到这种新型治疗方法的潜力,它无疑将造福许多患有口腔疾病的患者。
