Abstract

Bone atrophy of the alveolar process is an important
parameter in patients undergoing dental implants. There
are several methods for preserving the alveolar process,
with the autologous bone graft as the gold standard. Other
approaches include the use of allografts, xenografts and
synthetic bone grafts.
In recent years, the use of stem cells has increased in
importance. Th e most common type of stem cells used are
mesenchymal stem cells from various sources, including
bone marrow, adipose tissue and dental pulp. The discovery
of induced pluripotent stem cells and the continued research on embryonic stem cells open new possibilities in
this field.
However, further research is needed to optimise protocols
for isolation, diff erentiation and transplantation of cells with or without appropriate scaff olds, and to determine the correct clinical and therapeutic implications.
