Reconstruction of Mandibular Defects With Bone Marrow-Derived Stem Cells in Odontogenic Myxoma

Odontogenic myxoma is a benign tumor, mostly located in the mandible. It shows locally aggressive behavior and requires surgical removal. Common treatment options for reconstructing the bone defects are immediate or delayed autologous bone graft or free flap. In this article, the authors present the successful reconstruction with autogenous bone graft and autologous human bone marrow mesenchymal stem, followed by distraction osteogenesis, dental implant placement and prosthodontic restoration in the mandibular defect.
