Bone Marrow Aspirate Concentrate in Treating Mandibular Cystic Defects

"The iliac crest is palpated along its widest part forming the iliac tubercle ( 5-6 cm posterior to the anterior superior iliac spine), then a 5 mm incision is made 3-4 cm posterior to the ASIS directly on the crest.~The needle is advanced between the outer and inner plates of the ileum for a 4-6 cm into the cancellous bone and 10 ml of bone marrow is aspirated.~Bone marrow aspirate is processed by a dual centrifugation technique."

patients were treated conventionally by enucleation and plain collagen sponge only.
