Abstract: N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is the most prevalent epigenetic modification in eukaryotic mRNAs and involves in multiple biological processes. As a reversible modification, the process m6A counts on three types of proteins: Writers, Erasers and Readers. Recently, emerging evidence elucidates the role of m6A modification in the development of oral tissues and progression of oral diseases. This review summarized the recent papers reporting the research progress of m6A in oral diseases, mainly discussing its regulation of tooth and mandible development, as well as temporomandibular arthritis and mucosal disorders.
