The classic therapeutic surgical procedure could not follow the upstanding new esthetic demands with the utility of stem cell. The aim is to show the clinical utility of an innovative surgical technique out coming both values, therapeutic and esthetic purposes with the activation and implication of stem cell.
Five cases of human adult subjects have been operated with the innovative surgical procedure.
Full coverage of the surgical field with new healthy gingival tissues.
Tissue engineering using mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) is a recent therapeutic modality that has several advantages. MSCs have high proliferation potential and may be manipulated to permit differentiation before being transplanted, suggesting they may be an ideal candidate for regenerative procedures. The regenerative therapy needed a specific regenerative technique that allow the genetic factors to play their roles in finishing the outcome of the surgery
This surgical technique showed to be clinically practicable with ability to activate gingival stem cells to achieve the specialization of the gingival tissues and giving a pleasant healthy protected clinical appearance as well it showed a faster healing process and less postoperative complications when a biologic glue (tissucol) applied as hemostasis and substitution material instead of traditional suture.
