Dental Stem Cells

Dental stem cells / parent dental cells (collectively referred to as dental cells [DSCs]) are classified and comprised of dental pulp stem cells, Dental stem cells are a type of mesenchymal stem cell found in the dental tissues, including the dental pulp, periodontal ligament, and exfoliated deciduous teeth. These stem cells have the unique ability to differentiate into various cell types, such as odontoblasts (which form dentin), osteoblasts (bone-forming cells), chondrocytes (cartilage cells), and even neural cells. Due to their regenerative properties, dental stem cells hold great potential for use in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. They are being explored for applications in repairing damaged teeth, treating periodontal diseases, and even in broader medical fields like bone regeneration and nerve repair. Their ease of collection and ability to proliferate make them a promising resource for future therapeutic applications. stem cells from clear teeth, stem cells from apical papilla, periodontal ligament stem cell, and the ancestor of the dental follicle. cells. Common features of these cell numbers are the ability to regenerate themselves and the ability to divide multiple lines (multipotency). In vitro and animal studies have shown that DSCs can divide into osseous, odontogenic, adipose, endothelial, and neural-like tissues. In a recent study, three molar dental pulp somatic cells were rearranged to become pluripotent stem cells, and dental pulp pluripotent like stem cells were separated from third dental pulp.
