Mandibular bone regeneration with autologous adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells and coralline hydroxyapatite: experimental study in rats.

The purpose of this paper was to investigate the bone regeneration effect of autologous adipose tissue mesenchymal stem cells (ATMSC) in a small animal model. Twelve Wistar rats were given bilateral critical-size defects in the mandible. The defects were filled with coralline hydroxyapatite alone or combined with autologous undifferentiated ATMSC obtained from the dorsal fat pad.

Life-Threatening Sublingual Hematoma after Mandibular Implant Placement - A Case Report.

Rationale: Sublingual hematoma is a potentially lethal complication following mandibular implant placement. Due to the scarce cases reported, the management is controversial. In this article, a case is discussed focusing on the different treatment options to establish an orientative guideline.
