Figure 8

Implantation of the scaffolds in the critical size mandibular defects. The mandibular defects were reconstructed by implantation of empty and pADSC-seeded scaffolds in the minipig. (a) Reflection of the flap with exposure of the critical size defect. (b) The cell-scaffold construct being transported to the operating room in 50 ml falcon tubes with cell culture media. (c) Implantation of the scaffolds either empty scaffolds or cell seeded scaffolds in the critical size defect. (d) Fixation of the scaffold using a load-bearing osteosynthesis plate. Scale bars = 1 mm.
