Description
Summary:Qiandai Miao, Shaoqing Li, Weijia Lyu, Jianxia Zhang, Yan Han Department of Stomatology, China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences, Xiyuan Hospital, Beijing, 100091, People’s Republic of ChinaCorrespondence: Yan Han, Email hy1352111@163.comAbstract: Exosomes, small extracellular vesicles secreted by various cells, play crucial roles in the pathogenesis and treatment of oral diseases. Recent studies have highlighted their involvement in orthodontics, periodontitis, oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC), and hand, foot, and mouth disease (HFMD). Exosomes have a positive effect on the inflammatory environment of the oral cavity, remodeling and regeneration of oral tissues, and offer promising therapeutic options for bone and periodontal tissue restoration. In OSCC tumor-derived exosomes promote cancer progression through cell proliferation, migration, invasion, and angiogenesis, and serve as potential biomarkers for early diagnosis and prognosis. Additionally, engineered exosomes constructed specifically based on exosome properties hold great promise for targeted drug delivery and regenerative therapies such as bone regeneration in orthodontics and periodontal healing. With continued research, exosomes hold great potential for improving diagnosis and treatment in oral diseases, advancing personalized and regenerative therapies.Keywords: exosomes, orthodontics, periodontitis, treatment, regenerative therapy
