Transplantation of human dental pulp stem cells: enhance bone consolidation in mandibular distraction osteogenesis.

Purpose: The main aim of the present study was to evaluate the capacity of stem cells from human exfoliated deciduous teeth (SHED) to enhance mandibular distraction osteogenesis (DO) in rabbits.
