Abstract

Cleft lip and/or palate is the second most frequent congenital defect in humans. Patients with this defect are treated by multi-disciplinary teams, which provide corrective procedures to improve aesthetic and function, as well as permanent psychosocial support. Frequently, these patients have corrective surgical procedures conducted to repair bone defects using different bone sources. Generally, modern surgical results are successful, although they can be improved in some aspects such as their reliability, especially for growing children. Novel combined approaches based on tissue engineering and Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs) have been proposed. This chapter is mainly focused on the collection and ex-vivo propagation of hBMSCs/osteoprogenitors and their behavior in engineered microenvironments for craniofacial applications. Different aspects of isolation, propagation and osteoblastic phenotype expression are described. Also, the microfabrication of microenvironments and their effects on molecular and cellular components are explained.
