The combination of odontogenic stem cells and mandibular advancement promotes the length of the mandible in adult rats by facilitating the development of condylar cartilage
The data from this study suggest that adult rats, even after missing their peak growth period, retain the potential for continued growth and development of their condylar cartilage. By prolonging the duration of mandibular advancement and administering injections of stem cells from the apical papilla (SCAPs), it is possible to stimulate the growth and development of the mandibular condyle.
