Adipose tissue pathologies and defects have always represented a reconstructive challenge for plastic surgeons. In more recent years, several allogenic and alloplastic materials have been developed and used as fillers for soft tissue defects. However, their clinical use has been limited by further documented complications, such as foreign-body reactions potentially affecting function, degradation over time, and the risk for immunogenicity. Tissue-engineering strategies are thus being investigated to develop methods for generating adipose tissue. This paper will discuss the current state of the art in adipose tissue engineering techniques, exploring the biomaterials used, stem cells application, culture strategies, and current regulatory framework that are in use are here described and discussed.

The aim of this review was to examine the techniques for performing keratinized gingival augmentation and grafts, as well as the materials used, which are often required to ensure proper wound closure. Tissue engineering of the oral mucosa represents an interesting alternative to obtain sufficient autologous tissue to repair oral soft tissue defects using biodegradable scaffolds and can improve vascularization and epithelialization, which are critical for successful outcomes.
