Artificial biomaterials such as collagen and polyglycolic acid (PGA) sheets have gained clinical traction owing to their ease of use and reduced surgical burden. However, limitations such as local inflammation, degradation\u2010related complications, and mechanical instability\u2014particularly in highly mobile areas like the tongue\u2014continue to hinder their broader application.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A narrative review was performed, categorizing currently available biomaterials and evaluating their clinical performance, with particular attention to inflammatory responses and wound healing outcomes. Emerging materials, including fish skin\u2010derived matrices, ex\u00a0vivo\u2010produced oral mucosal equivalents (EVPOME), bioactive glasses (BAG), PLGA\u2010based drug delivery systems, and electrospun membranes, are also explored.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>These next\u2010generation biomaterials aim to provide more than passive wound coverage by incorporating functionalities such as anti\u2010inflammatory effects, antimicrobial activity, and sustained drug release.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Infection control, mucosal mobility, and material customization remain significant challenges. Biomaterials capable of actively regulating inflammation and promoting functional mucosal regeneration are garnering increasing interest as promising platforms, with high expectations for their future development, preclinical validation, and eventual clinical application. This review provides a comprehensive overview of both current and future biomaterial strategies for head and neck mucosal repair, and outlines future directions for the development of more effective
