Bone Regeneration in Artificial Jaw Cleft by Use of Carbonated Hydroxyapatite Particles and Mesenchymal Stem Cells Derived from Iliac Bone
Figure 2
Intraoral findings before and after the transplantation of MSCs to artificial jaw cleft. Intraoral images (a) after preparation of bilateral artificial jaw cleft in maxilla (arrowhead, jaw cleft), (b) before and (c) after transplantation of MSCs with CAP particles to the jaw cleft (3 months after the preparation of artificial jaw cleft). The cleft on the right side (control side) was filled with CAP particles alone, whereas the cleft on the left side (experimental side) was filled with MSCs and CAP particles (arrowhead). (d) 6 months after the transplantation.
