European project MAXIBONE
EU-millions to bone building-project
In the EU-funded project MAXIBONE, Professor Kamal Mustafa and his research group at the Department of Clinical Dentistry, University of Bergen (UiB), is going to grow new jawbone for tooth implants, based on stem cell technology.
“In the Maxibone project we will compare the stem cell treatment from 100 patients with 50 patients who get traditional bone transplant. We need clinical proof to see if stem cell treatment can be routine treatment at hospitals, and that it is better than today´s standard treatment,” Mustafa explains.
