Loss of tongue tissue due to oral cancer surgery or trauma leads to significant functional and psychological impairment. Bioartificial tongue technology is an emerging field in tissue engineering that aims to restore these lost functions. Awareness of such advanced rehabilitative technologies among dental professionals, especially in public health dentistry, is essential for future patient care and policy planning.</p> <p><strong>Aim:</strong> To assess the awareness, knowledge, and perception of bio-artificial tongue technology among undergraduate dental students.</p> <p><strong>Objectives:</strong> To evaluate the level of awareness regarding the concept of bio-artificial tongue. To assess knowledge about its indications and clinical applications.</p> <p>To determine students’ perception for its relevance, particularly in oral cancer rehabilitation.</p> Dr. Jaahnavi Lakkineni Dr. T.

Clinically, they present as well-defined, dome-shaped, transparent swellings that are soft, fluctuant, and typically asymptomatic, with intact overlying epithelium. Management of mucocele can be achieved through several treatment approaches, including conventional surgical excision with a scalpel, laser excision, laser ablation, sclerotherapy, cryosurgery, micro-marsupialization, and intralesional steroid injections. We are presenting a case of mucocele managed with laser excision.</p> Sonam Mishra Peeyush Shivhare Copyright (c) 2026-03-08 2026-03-08 8 1 10 14 10.36437/ijdrd.2026.8.1.B
