Hemangioma is a benign tumor characterized by the proliferation of blood vessels. Although it often appears in soft tissues, its occurrence in bone tissue, particularly the mandible, is extremely rare. A 32-year-old female sought attention at the dental clinic complaining of a painless swelling in the posterior region of the left side of the mandible.

To bypass these limitations, tissue engineering techniques based on hybrid materials made up of osteoprogenitor cells-such as mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs)-and bioactive ceramic scaffolds-such as calcium phosphate-based (CaPs) bioceramics-seem promising. The biological properties of MSCs are influenced by the tissue source.
