SINGAPORE: Gingival tissue grafting is a well-established procedure in periodontal therapy; however, conventional techniques are often associated with morbidity at the donor site and limited tissue availability. A research team from the National University of Singapore (NUS) has now reported on a novel approach it has developed that combines 3D bioprinting and artificial intelligence (AI) to fabricate gingival tissue grafts. The technique allows for the precise creation of patient-specific grafts, aiming to improve clinical outcomes while reducing discomfort and postoperative complications.
