International trial. Reconstruction of jaw bone with a combination of biomaterial and autologous stem cells, before dental implant placement.

Conditions
Men and women aged 18 years or more requiring jaw bone reconstruction prior to dental implant placement based on clinical and radiological examinations (CBCT Cone beam CT imaging). Areas suitable for reconstruction correspond to the mandible areas behind the canine teeth affected by lateral or vertical bone loss (focusing lateral bone loss). They must receive clear information about the study and give their informed consent to participate in the study.

Exclusion Criteria

Local criteria:

o History of or scheduled cervico-facial radiation therapy.
General criteria :
o the patient suffer from any serious coagulation disorders that could require substitution therapy
o the patient is receiving VKA therapy, which should be adjusted if necessary so that the INR does
not exceed 2.5
o the patient has history of allergy to iodine or to local anesthetics (sulfites, etc.)., or a history of
hematoma, or hemorrhage or blood coagulation disorders
o the patient has received localized iliac crest radiotherapy contraindicating withdrawal from the
irradiated site
o the patient has major skin lesions or diseases.
o Patients presenting with bone metabolism disorders: hypophosphatemia, primary parathyroid
osteitis or that is secondary to chronic renal insufficiency or osteomalacia, Paget’s disease,
vitamin D-related disorders, osteoporosis.

in the case report form.
o Patients with an ASA score of 0 or 1, incapable of tolerating general anesthesia.
o Immunosuppression
o Body mass index outside the normal range, particularly > 30 because of increased surgical risk
at the time of BM harvesting from the iliac crest.
o Risk of remote infection (orthopedic prosthesis implanted in the previous 6 months, patients
presenting with a high risk of infective endocarditis, presence of pulmonary arteriovenous shunt,
etc.).
o HIV, HTLV and/or syphilis seropositivity.
