Abstract: Stem cells have self-renewal ability and multi-directional differentiation potential, and they have been widely used in many fields. Compared with the conventional surgical treatment of cleft lip and palate, stem cells have many advantages including wide sources, convenient materials, and low immunogenicity. At present, plastic surgeons have gradually paid attention to the research of stem cell treatment of cleft lip and palate patients. This article describes the research progress of embryonic stem cells, human mesenchymal stem cells, and maxillofacial stem cells in the treatment of alveolar clefts in patients with cleft lip and palate.
