| Summary: | <b>Background/Objectives:</b> Oral cavity wound recovery presents unique challenges due to constant moisture exposure and functional mechanical stresses. Nanoscale extracellular vesicles (exosomes) with regenerative properties offer promising therapeutic potential for tissue regeneration, contributing to improved health outcomes. This study evaluated human exosomal preparations in promoting oral mucosal regeneration. <b>Methods:</b> We established standardized full-thickness wounds in the buccal mucosa of SD rats and divided subjects into experimental (receiving 50 billion human exosomes) and control (receiving carrier solution only) groups. Comprehensive wound assessment occurred at predetermined intervals (days 0, 3, 7, and 10) through photographic documentation, histological examination, and quantitative measurement. <b>Results:</b> Exosomal-treated tissues demonstrated statistically significant acceleration in closure rates (<i>p</i> < 0.05), achieving 87.3% reduction by day 10 versus 64.1% in the controls. Microscopic analysis revealed superior epithelial development, reduced inflammatory infiltration, and enhanced collagen architectural organization in exosomal-treated specimens. Semi-quantitative evaluation confirmed consistently superior healing metrics in the experimental group across all assessment timepoints. <b>Conclusions:</b> These findings demonstrate that human exosome preparations significantly enhance oral mucosal regeneration in SD rats, suggesting potential clinical applications for accelerating recovery following oral surgical procedures. |
