Area of Science:

  • Biomaterials Science
  • Tissue Engineering
  • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

Background:

  • Free flap surgery is the standard for jaw reconstruction but has significant donor site morbidity.
  • Segmental mandibular defects require effective reconstruction methods due to cancer, trauma, or infection.
  • Biomaterials are being explored as alternatives to autografts for mandibular defect repair.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review hydrogels for bone regeneration and mandibular defect reconstruction.
  • To discuss hydrogel fabrication, 3D printing, and preclinical outcomes.
  • To propose a novel technique combining hydrogels, scaffolds, and cells for enhanced mandibular reconstruction.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of hydrogels in bone tissue engineering.
  • Analysis of hydrogel properties, fabrication, and 3D printing techniques.
  • Evaluation of preclinical in vitro and in vivo studies on hydrogels for bone regeneration.

Main Results:

  • Hydrogels demonstrate potential for bone regeneration in preclinical models.
  • Various hydrogel types and fabrication methods show promise for tissue engineering.
  • Limitations of current hydrogel applications in preclinical mandibular reconstruction were identified.

Conclusions:

  • Hydrogels represent a promising biomaterial for mandibular defect reconstruction.
  • Combining hydrogels with scaffolds and cells may improve regenerative outcomes.
  • Further research is needed to translate hydrogel-based strategies into clinical practice for jaw reconstruction.
