Moscow - Saba:
Scientists at the Sechenov Medical University in Moscow have invented a technology to restore damaged gum tissue, based on 3D bioprinting.
Patients visit dentists due to gum inflammation and tissue damage, the Russian newspaper "Izvestia" on Monday quoted the researchers as saying, but it is difficult to restore damaged parts because synthetic materials do not always take root.
They said the innovative technology depends on restoring damaged tissue using the person's own cells, biocompatible polymers and spherical cells, as these tissues take root in the patient's body because they are completely compatible with his body. This technology is promising for treating many diseases of the oral cavity.
Dentist Svetlana Rybina, Associate Professor in the Department of Surgical Dentistry, said: "This process is much more than just a transplant because it is a living tissue that is linked to the patient's body, where it is grown from his/her own cells. So far, this technology has no equivalent in the world.
"This technology can be used to restore gum tissue damaged by various diseases, and to cover defects resulting from injuries and after surgical operations."
It is worth noting that the gums are a group of tissues around the teeth that work to fix them to the bones. They can become inflamed as a result of various diseases or injuries.
