Abstract:Purpose: To evaluate the effect of adipose derived mesenchymal stem cell (ADSC) on the regeneration of irradiated mandible submitted to distraction osteogenesis on adult rabbits. Methods: Ten adult rabbits were selected and the dorsal fat was harvested for isolation, dissociation and culture of adipose derived adult mesenchymal stem cells. The mandibles were irradiated on a single dose of 20 Gy. After 30 days the animals underwent mandibular lengthening by distraction osteogenesis. After 10 mm of lengthening, … Show more
