Research Abstract |
According to a recent report, stem cells and olfactory ensheathing cells(OEC) exist in the olfactory mucosa, and may induce nerve regeneration. We herein examined whether olfactory mucosa, transplanted in damaged inferior alveolar nerve, induced nerve regeneration in rats. The mandibles of the transplanted group were morphologically maintained. Many S100-and NFP-positive cells were observed. In conclusion, olfactory mucosa, transplanted in damaged inferior alveolar nerve, may facilitate peripheral nerve regeneration.
