Dental stem cells in tooth regeneration and repair in the future

Introduction: Human dental stem cells can be obtained from postnatal teeth, extracted wisdom teeth or exfoliated deciduous teeth. Due to their differentiation potential, these mesenchymal stem cells are promising for tooth repair. Therefore, the development of dental tissue regeneration represents a suitable but challenging, target for dental stem cell therapies.Areas covered: In this review, the authors provide an overview of human dental stem...
