Exosomes are the smallest subset of extracellular signaling vesicles secreted by most cells in the range of 30–150 nm in diameter. They have gained enormous momentum recently for their ability to be utilized as diagnostic tools as well as for a vast array of therapeutic applications. More than 5,000 publications are currently being published yearly on the topic, and this number is only expected to dramatically increase as novel therapeutic strategies continue to be investigated. This session focuses on the understanding of exosomes including their cell origin, biogenesis, function, and characterization. Thereafter, an overview of their application in regenerative dentistry and medicine is presented, including its use as an adjunct to PRF therapy. In total, 113 research articles examined the use of exosomes for regenerative dental purposes.

Learning Objectives:

  • Learn what exosomes are
  • Explore the potential of exosomes in regenerative dentistry
  • Gain an introduction to the 5,000 publications per year in this space
