Background: Recent advances in mRNA vaccine technology, accelerated by the global COVID-19 pandemic, have generated significant interest in their applications beyond infectious diseases. Dentistry has emerged as a promising field for exploring the potential of mRNA-based therapies in preventing and treating oral diseases. Objectives: This narrative review aims to evaluate the current status of mRNA vaccine development and its preclinical applications in oral health, focusing on periodontal disease, dental caries, regenerative medicine, implantology, and oral cancer. Methods: The review synthesizes findings from preclinical studies, including research conducted in animal models and in vitro, to assess the potential of mRNA-based therapies to modulate immune responses and promote tissue regeneration in the oral cavity. Clinical trials were only mentioned in the context of broader areas of mRNA vaccine implementation such as oncology and immunotherapy. Results: The preclinical studies highlight the capacity of mRNA vaccines to enhance the body’s immune response and facilitate tissue repair processes. Despite these promising results, challenges persist in delivering mRNA vaccines effectively within the complex oral environment. These challenges include vaccine stability, delivery mechanisms, and the modulation of immune responses. Conclusions: While mRNA vaccines offer significant promise for revolutionizing oral health care, they face notable limitations concerning safety, efficacy, and clinical feasibility. Overcoming these obstacles through further research is essential to unlock their full translational potential and ensure their safe and effective integration into dental practice.
