Evaluation of EpiBone-CMF for Mandibular Ramus Reconstruction

Summary

EpiBone-Craniomaxillofacial (EB-CMF) is an autologous, anatomically shaped bone graft created specifically for the patient's defect, using the patients own adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells. This first in human trial is designed specifically to assess the safety of EB-CMF clinically. Although secondary measures of graft efficacy are being assessed, the primary focus will be on Adverse Events stemming from graft implantation.
