Abstract (original English)
Background and Objectives: Soft tissue regeneration in oral surgery has undergone remarkable progress in the last decade, supported by the development of innovative laser technologies, advanced biomaterials, platelet-rich plasma (PRP), mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), and three-dimensional (3D) printing. Lasers are increasingly used not only for incision and coagulation but also for photobiomodulation, promoting cellular proliferation, angiogenesis, and tissue healing. The purpose of this review is to analyze the current advances in soft tissue regeneration, with a particular focus on the clinical use of lasers and their integration with other regenerative strategies. In parallel, hard tissue regeneration has evolved through the synergistic use of bioactive scaffolds, recombinant human growth factors (rhBMP-2, rhPDGF-BB), MSCs, and 3D-printed constructs. These innovations have enhanced alveolar bone regeneration, implant osseointegration, and periodontal tissue repair, offering predictable clinical outcomes. Materials and Methods: A review of the literature published between 2015 and 2025 was conducted through PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, Embase, and Google Scholar. Clinical and preclinical studies on the use of CO 2 , Nd:YAG, Er:YAG, diode, and 445 nm lasers, biomaterials, PRP, MSCs, growth factors, and 3D-printed scaffolds were included. Results: Laser applications demonstra
What this study does not prove
- • This study does not prove SVF is an approved treatment or a replacement for standard care.
