Engineered autologous bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells: Alternative to cleft alveolar bone graft surgery

AbstractHuman recombinant bone morphogenetic protein 2 (rhBMP-2) accelerates bone regeneration but is associated with limited cementum and periodontal ligament regeneration, local root resorption, and ankylosis. This study assessed a new approach to the regeneration of the alveolar bone and periodon
