Abstract
Objective:
To compare new bone formation in maxillary sinus augmentation procedures using biomaterial associated with mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) separated by two different isolation methods.
Background:
In regenerative medicine open cell concentration systems are only allowed for clinical application under good manufacturing practice conditions.
Methods:
Mononuclear cells, including MSCs, were concentrated with either the synthetic poylsaccharid (FICOLL) method (classic open system—control group,
Results:
The new bone formation in the BMAC group was 19.9% (90% confidence interval [CI], 10.9–29), and in the FICOLL group was 15.5% (90% CI, 8.6–22.4). The 4.4% difference was not significant (90% CI, −4.6–13.5;
Conclusion:
MSCs harvested from bone marrow aspirate in combination with bovine bone matrix particles can form lamellar bone and provide a reliable base for dental implants. The closed BMAC system is suited to substitute the open FICOLL system in bone regeneration procedures.
