A team of researchers from the National University of Singapore (NUS) has developed a method to fabricate personalized gingival (gum) tissue grafts using an innovative combination of 3D bioprinting and artificial intelligence (AI).
Led by Assistant Professor Gopu Sriram from NUS Faculty of Dentistry, the team’s approach presents a more customizable and less invasive alternative to traditional grafting methods, which often involve harvesting tissue from the patient’s mouth—a process that can be both uncomfortable and constrained by the availability of suitable tissue.
The 3D bioprinting and AI-enabled technique has the potential to address key challenges in dental procedures more effectively, such as repairing gum defects caused by periodontal disease or complications from dental implants. For instance, by enabling the precise...
