Background/purposeBone resorption and soft-tissue defects are the typical physiologic responses after tooth extraction. Various dental ridge augmentation techniques have been applied and lack of the soft tissue is the major factor causing the failure. We propose that the adipose-derived stem cell can be useful in soft-tissue augmentation in dental applications. The objective of this study was to optimize the operation procedures for the isolation of adipose stem cells and tissues. Accelerated clinical protocols for effective transplantation of adipose tissue with high amount of adipose stem cells shall be developed.
