Abstract

Bacterial cellulose has great potential as a biomaterial for dental and oral applications. It has been used mainly in dental pulp tissue regeneration, periodontal regeneration, and dressing of surgical wounds of the oral mucosa. In addition, bacterial cellulose has been explored in dental root canal treatment to remove the total residue and dry the canal. This review describes some bacterial cellulose studies focused on these applications, as well as advantages, disadvantages and some important results in both in vitro and in vivo evaluations, based on the physiological and structural components of the particular tissue. Furthermore, this work describes the properties and advantages of bacterial cellulose in dental and oral applications compared with other biomaterials. Finally, in the new era of biomaterials, composite materials inspired by biological tissue based on bacterial cellulose are proposed for alveolar bone regeneration.

细菌纤维素：在牙科和口腔应用中具有巨大潜力的生物材料

摘要

细菌纤维素作为牙科和口腔应用的生物材料具有巨大的潜力。它已主要用于牙髓组织再生，牙周再生和口腔粘膜手术伤口的包扎。另外，已经在牙根管治疗中探索了细菌纤维素以去除总残留物并干燥管。这篇综述描述了一些针对这些应用的细菌纤维素研究，以及基于特定组织的生理和结构成分在体外和体内评估中的优缺点和一些重要结果。此外，这项工作描述了细菌纤维素与其他生物材料相比在牙科和口腔应用中的特性和优势。最后，在生物材料的新时代，
