India’s Biotechnology Firm Performs First Ever Autologous Maxillofacial Regeneration
Mrs. Minakshi Kudekar, a mumbai resident female patient aged 39 years, was having a 5 x 2 x 1cm defect in her jaw with compromised function and facial deformity. She was diagnosed with Ameloblastic Fibroma. After having consulted Dr. Vaidya, he decided to do Ossron, a two staged cell (osteoblast) therapy procedure. As the first step, a Biopsy was performed on 27th July 2010 at the hospital.
“Autologous cultured cell technology has created a new dimension in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine, which will diminish the burden of risks associated with auto and allografts”, says Dr. Satyen Sanghavi, Chief Scientific Officer, Regrow®.
“Regenerating patient’s own bones would be like giving her an original jaw, thus in future she can fix permanent prosthesis (denture)”, said Dr. Vaidya.
Ameloblastoma is a benign tumor of odontogenic epithelium commonly appears in the mandible. While these tumors progress slowly, the resulting lesions can cause severe abnormalities of the face and jaw. Additionally, because abnormal cell growth easily infiltrates and destroys surrounding bony tissues, wide surgical excision is required to treat this disorder. Even then, the defect remains permanent and there is no treatment available.
