A total of 12 six-to-eight-week adult male C57BL/6J mice (18–22 g) were purchased from the Shanghai Model Organisms Center, Inc. and housed in a specific-pathogen-free facility under a light/dark cycle of 12 h/12 h, with access to food and water ad libitum. The mice were housed at a density of five mice per cage to ensure adequate space for activity and optimal housing conditions. No mice were excluded from the analysis.

Alveolar bone defects have always been a common problem in the oral cavity. Maxillofacial trauma and alveolar bone resorption cause bone defects, which make maxillofacial surgery and periodontal treatment difficult. Stem cell therapy has been suggested as a research focus in tissue engineering. However, stem cells are limited in their research and application, and so having a large number of stem cells is very important when prioritizing efficiency.
