Popis: Cleft palate is one of the most frequent anomalies in the head and neck region. Differ - ent treatments have been used but with each, there are still some disadvantages such as fistulas. The use of a 3D scaffold, with osteoinductive properties, from an easily accessi - ble source, such as dental pulp stem cells, should improve and shorten the treatment of a cleft palate. We conducted a pilot study, in a Vietnamese pig, to evaluate the effectiveness of treating a critical defect of the palate bone, with a 3D Polycaprolactone (PCL) scaffold, in combination with a Beta Tricalcium Phosphate powder (β-TCP) and Pig Dental Pulp Stem Cells (pig DPSC) obtained from the subject pig.
