CAN BONE MARROW ASPIRATE CONCENTRATE CHANGE THE MINERALIZATION PATTERN OF THE ANTERIOR MAXILLA TREATED WITH XENOGRAFTS? A PRELIMINARY STUDY

The use of an equine enzymatically deantigenated bone graft in combination with autologous bone graft to reconstruct the atrophic maxilla 

This study aims to o evaluate bony reconstruction of the atrophic anterior maxilla using particulate grafts with or without autologous bone marrow aspirate concentrate (BMAC) in eight patients. Although radiographic bone gain appeared similar between the groups, the use of BMAC obtained via the BMAC((R)) method revealed an increased mineralization trend in the anterior maxilla. It must be highlighted, however, that this is a preliminary study with a relatively small sample population and further studies with larger sample sizes are needed to verify these results.
