Histology of the bone formed with DDPSC associated with Bio-Oss Collagen® after 12 months. Histology of the bone formed after 12 months of the use of bone tissue engineering strategy (DDPSC associated with Bio-Oss Collagen® (Geitlish) to close the alveolar bone cleft of cleft lip and palate patients. The scale bars represent 200 μm. The yellow arrow shows the presence of young bone (Haversian canal), and the black arrows show the presence of remaining biomaterial (Bio-Oss Collagen®, Geitlish) that was not reabsorbed in twelve months.
