case_images: Skin over the swelling was normal [Figure 1a]. Intraorally also, there was large swelling which was about 2 cm x 5 cm and it was attached to the gingiva from the right lower second molar (47) to the left lower canine (33) with obliteration of the sulcus [Figure 1b].

case_images: The orthopantomogram (OPG) revealed a well-defined radiolucent area extending from the left lower lateral incisor (32) to the right lower second premolar (45) of about 3 cm x 3 cm dimension with an impacted canine tooth 43 seen at the apex of tooth 45 and impacted 32 seen on the left side inferior border of mandible [Figure 2a]. A three-dimensional computed tomography (CT) scan of the mandible was taken and showed expansion of both buccal and lingual cortical plates of mandible with perforation [Figure 2b, c and d].

case_images: The affected buccal cortical plate from lesional area from 46 to 33 regions was removed [Figure 3]. The lower border of the mandible was maintained and lingual cortical plate was not disturbed even in the perforated area [Figure 3a and b]. The height of the buccal side of the mesh was less than the lingual cortical plate and a 1 cm of gap was maintained between lingual cortical plate and the mesh from 47 to 33 regions [Figure 3c]. Before placing the mesh over the operated area, five Sybografts (SyboGraft-T-plug is a sterile synthetic beta-tricalcium phosphate-Eucare Pharmaceuticals (P) Ltd., Chennai, India) scaffold measuring 25 mm in length with a diameter of 12 mm were placed inside the mesh and fixed with resorbable sutures [Figure 3d].

case_images: The prepared 20 million stem cells cultured from DPSC and the fat SVF containing 45 million cells mixed with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) were placed over the graft [Figure 4a and b]. The stem cells were mixed with the granules and were packed inside the mesh and placed over the lingual cortex [Figure 4c and d].

case_images: Postoperative days were uneventful. Postoperative OPG and CT scan of the mandible were taken during the 10 months, it showed satisfactory bone formation [Figure 5].
