      <abstract>
        <p>Post-surgical healing in oral procedures is a multifaceted process influenced by biological, nutritional, and therapeutic factors. The oral cavity’s unique environment, characterized by high microbial activity and constant exposure to mechanical forces, presents specific challenges to tissue repair. Advances in wound care have introduced biomaterials such as platelet-rich fibrin and bioengineered scaffolds that promote cellular proliferation and vascularization, enhancing the natural healing cascade. Nutritional optimization, particularly the role of micronutrients like vitamins C and D and essential proteins, has been shown to accelerate tissue regeneration and support immune modulation. Pharmacological strategies, including the use of selective anti-inflammatory agents and innovative drug delivery systems, target inflammation and microbial control while minimizing systemic side effects. Technological innovations such as photodynamic therapy and nanotechnology-based applications offer precise interventions that target infection and inflammation at the molecular level. Photodynamic therapy, in particular, has demonstrated efficacy in reducing microbial load while preserving host tissues. Additionally, the integration of probiotics as an adjunct therapy has opened new pathways in infection control by restoring microbial balance and enhancing immune resilience. These approaches, combined with localized treatments such as antimicrobial hydrogels and peptide-based therapies, underscore a shift toward personalized and minimally invasive solutions in post-surgical care. Emerging evidence highlights the importance of a synergistic approach that combines advanced materials, systemic interventions, and technological innovations to optimize outcomes in oral surgery. These strategies not only reduce complications but also improve the quality and speed of healing, addressing both functional and aesthetic concerns. The ongoing exploration of personalized medicine and cutting-edge technologies holds potential for further refinement in this field, promising improved recovery experiences for patients undergoing oral surgical procedures.&#13;
