Abstract:
Efficient tissue regeneration following oral cancer surgery is crucial for maintaining function. Seaweed-derived scaffold materials, with their resemblance to oral tissue structure, promote cell adhesion and differentiation. Their high porosity aids in exudate absorption, reducing infection risks and tissue maceration. Further scaffold breakdown releases growth factors, aiding tissue regeneration. Easily integrated into dressings or gels, these scaffolds accelerate healing and protect against contaminants. Their biocompatibility and safety ensure minimal adverse effects. Seaweed-derived scaffolds offer a natural, sustainable approach to tissue repair, making them ideal for post-oral surgery dressing, facilitating effective tissue regeneration.
