Figure 4
Patient that has received alveolar bone tissue engineering graft (DDPSC associated with 250 mg Bio-Oss Collagen®). Computed tomography images of the same patient showing the alveolar cleft fill by bone 6 and 12 months after the use of bone tissue engineering strategies (DDPSC associated with Bio-Oss Collagen®) and the canine tooth eruption after 12 months. (a) Preoperative—presence of alveolar cleft; (b) 6 months postoperatively—the alveolar cleft filled by new bone, and (c) 12 months postoperatively—canine tooth eruption in the new bone formed using the DDPSC associated with Bio-Oss Collagen®.
