To truly understand a field of study, one must delve into its past and examine the challenges and successes that have shaped its current practices. In the case of periodontal plastic surgery, recognizing how challenges induced changes over the last 70 years-from the 1950s to today-is essential to fully comprehend its evolution. This editorial provides a perspective on the field, highlighting the interrelationships between influential surgical techniques and advancements in research methodology. With each event building upon the last, the evolution of periodontal plastic surgery is a story of scientific progress and ongoing research, fostering a sense of community and shared knowledge.

Review
Organoids are 3D structures generated from stem cells. Their functions and physiological characteristics are similar to those of normal organs. They are used in disease mechanism research, new drug development, organ transplantation and other fields. In recent years, the application of 3D materials in plastic surgery for repairing injuries, filling, tissue reconstruction and regeneration has also been investigated. The PubMed/MEDLINE database was queried to search for animal and human studies published through July of 2022 with search terms related to Organoids, Plastic Surgery, Pluripotent Stem Cells, Bioscaffold, Skin Reconstruction, Bone and Cartilage Regeneration. This review presents stem cells, scaffold materials and methods for the construction of organoids for plastic surgery, and it summarizes their research progress in plastic surgery in recent years.Level of Evidence III This journal requires that authors assign a level of evidence to each article.

Dunedin is a small city located in the southeastern part of the South Island of New Zealand, an enclave found in the Southern Hemisphere halfway around the World. How possibly would anyone consider such a remote place to be the birthplace of modern plastic surgery? Yet here was born both Sir Harold Delf Gillies, the "father of modern plastic surgery." and his first cousin once removed, Sir Archibold Hector McIndoe. Author Rainsford Mowlem, born in Auckland, was a contemporary of McIndoe at the University of Otago Medical School in Dunedin, from which they both graduated. Along with Kilner, Gillies, McIndoe, and Mowlem were known during the intervening years after the first World War as the "Big Four" full-time plastic surgeons in England. Henry Percy Pickerill was not born in New Zealand, but was the first dean and Director of the University of Otago Dental School when it opened. At Queen's Hospital in Sidcup he headed the New Zealand section, where he too was under the guidance of Gillies. After that war he returned to Dunedin, where for better or worse influenced there the future development of plastic surgery. Thus, the birthplace of the lives or careers of those 4 pioneers of plastic surgery-Gillies, Pickerill, McIndoe, Mowlem-was Dunedin. Perhaps were it not for the fate of the Great World Wars it may have never been, but it was.
