Hello and welcome to the forum. Thanks for your question. That's an interesting topic.  Is there a particular reason you ask?  Do you have a situation in which this would be necessary for you.  In short answer until you give more details, yes. Stem cells have been investigated to replace bone and cartilage and while new science, there has been success with it. https://med.stanford.edu/news/all-news/2018/09/study-identifies-stem-cell-that-gives-rise-to-new-bone-cartilage.html

Yes, my life is basically dependent on it.
Specifically left maxillary face and inside left Sinus . Thank you for responding. I'm very wide open and it causes nerve irritation and unbelievable pressure and dryness. My hope is in this and it's what is driving me to get going. It's a true miracle what is being accomplished by stem cells, if I can just be seen as a candidate.
