ADVANTAGES

perform specific measurements prior
to implantation
DISADVANTAGES
- The absence of a physiologic amp mechanical environment during the
formation of tissue in vitro

ADVANTAGES
The ability to examine the material as it is formed and to
perform specific measurements prior
to implantation
DISADVANTAGES
- The absence of a physiologic amp mechanical environment during the
formation of tissue in vitro
- Union of the implanted tissues with the host organ
requires remodeling ndashdegradation and new tissue formation at the interface of implant with the host
tissue
in vivoADVANTAGES
Tissue formation takes place under the influence of physiologic mechanical
environment
Incorporation of the tissues being formed with
the surrounding structures
DISADVANTAGES
Regenerating tissues may be dislodged or degraded by the mechanical forces
normally acting at the site before the regenerating
tissue is fully formed and incorporated

in vitro
ADVANTAGES
The ability to examine the material as it is formed and to
perform specific measurements prior
to implantation
DISADVANTAGES
- The absence of a physiologic amp mechanical environment during the
formation of tissue in vitro
- Union of the implanted tissues with the host organ
requires remodeling ndashdegradation and new tissue formation at the interface of implant with the host
tissue
in vivoADVANTAGES
Tissue formation takes place under the influence of physiologic mechanical
environment
Incorporation of the tissues being formed with
the surrounding structures
DISADVANTAGES
Regenerating tissues may be dislodged or degraded by the mechanical forces
normally acting at the site before the regenerating
tissue is fully formed and incorporated

DISADVANTAGES
- The absence of a physiologic amp mechanical environment during the
formation of tissue in vitro
- Union of the implanted tissues with the host organ

in vitro
ADVANTAGES
The ability to examine the material as it is formed and to
perform specific measurements prior
to implantation
DISADVANTAGES
- The absence of a physiologic amp mechanical environment during the
formation of tissue in vitro
- Union of the implanted tissues with the host organ
requires remodeling ndashdegradation and new tissue formation at the interface of implant with the host
tissue
in vivoADVANTAGES
Tissue formation takes place under the influence of physiologic mechanical
environment
Incorporation of the tissues being formed with
the surrounding structures
DISADVANTAGES
Regenerating tissues may be dislodged or degraded by the mechanical forces
normally acting at the site before the regenerating
tissue is fully formed and incorporated

ADVANTAGES
The ability to examine the material as it is formed and to
perform specific measurements prior
to implantation
DISADVANTAGES
- The absence of a physiologic amp mechanical environment during the
formation of tissue in vitro
- Union of the implanted tissues with the host organ
requires remodeling ndashdegradation and new tissue formation at the interface of implant with the host
tissue
in vivoADVANTAGES
Tissue formation takes place under the influence of physiologic mechanical
environment
Incorporation of the tissues being formed with
the surrounding structures
DISADVANTAGES
Regenerating tissues may be dislodged or degraded by the mechanical forces

bull Cultured mandibular periosteum-derived cell sheets withPRP have also been used in the treatment of chronicperiodontitis without (Mizuno et al 2010) or with HA inpatients suffering from advanced chronic periodontitis(Okuda et al 2009)
bull A BMSC-PRP gel has also been used in an infrabonyperiodontal defect and led to a 4 mm clinical attachmentgain (Yamada et al 2006)
These data suggest MSCs may induce efficient and
safe periodontal regeneration in humans
