The periodontium is one of the most complex tissues in the body, consisting of a hierarchical blend of soft and hard tissues. Its complex architecture makes treating and regenerating disease-damaged periodontal tissues a persistent challenge in biomedicine. Three-dimensional (3D) bioprinting represents a transformative approach to tissue engineering, offering promising advancements in treating and regenerating periodontal disease. This innovative technology enables the precise fabrication of complex, patient-specific tissue structures, facilitating the repair and restoration of damaged periodontal tissues, including the gingiva, bone, and periodontal ligament (PDL). By utilizing biocompatible materials such as living cells, hydrogels, and growth factors, 3D bioprinting has the potential to create functional, biologically integrated constructs that can mimic the natural architecture of periodontal tissues. However, translating these advancements into clinical applications remains a challenge. Emerging technologies like bioprinting have been developed to address some limitations of traditional tissue engineering methods. This review explores the current state of 3D bioprinting technology, its application in periodontal disease treatment, and the challenges associated with scaling up this technology for clinical use. Additionally, it discusses the future implications of bioprinting for personalized medicine, offering a new frontier for regenerating periodontal tissues and improving patient outcomes in oral health. Integrating 3D bioprinting into periodontal regenerative therapies could revolutionize clinical practices, offering more effective, tailored, and sustainable solutions to address the challenges of periodontal disease.
牙周组织是人体中最复杂的组织之一,由软组织和硬组织分层混合而成。其复杂的结构使得治疗和再生受疾病损伤的牙周组织成为生物医学领域持续面临的挑战。三维(3D)生物打印代表了一种变革性的组织工程方法,在治疗和再生牙周疾病方面取得了有前景的进展。这项创新技术能够精确制造复杂的、针对患者的组织结构,有助于修复受损的牙周组织,包括牙龈、骨骼和牙周韧带(PDL)。通过利用生物相容性材料,如活细胞、水凝胶和生长因子,3D生物打印有潜力创建功能性的、生物整合的构建体,以模仿牙周组织的自然结构。然而,将这些进展转化为临床应用仍然是一项挑战。像生物打印这样的新兴技术已被开发出来,以解决传统组织工程方法的一些局限性。本文综述探讨了3D生物打印技术的现状、其在牙周疾病治疗中的应用以及将该技术扩大到临床应用所面临的挑战。此外,还讨论了生物打印对个性化医疗的未来影响,为再生牙周组织和改善口腔健康患者的治疗效果提供了新的前沿领域。将3D生物打印整合到牙周再生治疗中可能会彻底改变临床实践,为应对牙周疾病挑战提供更有效、量身定制和可持续的解决方案。
