Stem Cell grafting is the latest technology in helping bone to grow in deficient parts of the jaw. Stem cells are special cells that are found in the marrow of “flat” bones such as the hip or chest. The stem cells have the ability to multiply and become other tissue such as bone, cartilage, hair or skin. Stem cells are gathered by needle aspiration from the hipbone and placed against the jawbone. In four months, the stem cells “know” how to change into bone and make the region suitable for dental implants. The use of stem cells is revolutionary because the patient’s own live cells are used to create bone.
