Abstract (original English)
Oral diseases represent one of the most prevalent diseases globally and are associated with serious health and economic burdens, greatly altering the quality of life of affected individuals. Various biomaterials play important roles in the treatment of oral diseases. To some extent, the development of biomaterials has promoted progress in clinically available oral medicines. Hydrogels have unique tunable advantages that make them useful in the next generation of regenerative strategies and have been widely applied in both oral soft and hard tissues repair. However, most hydrogels lack self-adhesive properties, which may result in low repair efficacy. Polydopamine (PDA), the primary adhesive component, has attracted increasing attention in recent years. PDA-modified hydrogels exhibit reliable and suitable adherence to tissues and easily integrate into tissues to promote repair efficiency. This paper reviews the latest research progress on PDA hydrogels and elaborates on the mechanism of the reaction between PDA functional groups and hydrogels, and summarizes the biological properties and the applications of PDA hydrogels in the prevention and treatment of the field of oral diseases. It is also proposed that in future research we should simulate the complex microenvironment of the oral cavity as much as possible, coordinate and plan various biological events rationally, and reali
