Dental Pulp Stem Cells: A Promising Tool for Bone Regeneration

Dental Pulp Stem Cells: A Promising Tool for Tissue Regeneration

Stem cells are the “master “ cells of our body that act as building block to regenerate and turn into cells that form tissues, organs and systems in the human body. Several “loci ’’ or “niches” within the adult human body are colonised by a significant number of stem cells. However, access to these potential collection sites often is a limiting point. Growing evidence demonstrates that stem cel...

Pulp Regeneration by Harnessing Dental Pulp Stem Cells

Dental pulp stem cells as a multifaceted tool for bioengineering and the regeneration of craniomaxillofacial tissues

Dental pulp stem cells, or DPSC, are neural crest-derived cells with an outstanding capacity to differentiate along multiple cell lineages of interest for cell therapy. In particular, highly efficient osteo/dentinogenic differentiation of DPSC can be achieved using simple in vitro protocols, making these cells a very attractive and promising tool for the future treatment of dental and periodont...

A computer-designed scaffold for bone regeneration within cranial defect using human dental pulp stem cells

A computer-designed, solvent-free scaffold offer several potential advantages such as ease of customized manufacture and in vivo safety. In this work, we firstly used a computer-designed, solvent-free scaffold and human dental pulp stem cells (hDPSCs) to regenerate neo-bone within cranial bone defects. The hDPSCs expressed mesenchymal stem cell markers and served as an abundant source of stem c...

Stem Cells of the Dental Pulp

 Dental Pulp Stem Cells (DPSCs) can be found within the cell rich zone of dental pulp. These stem cells, under specific stimuli, differentiate into many cell types which have wide therapeutic applications.   The dental stem cells are derived from both deciduous and permanent teeth. The viable dental stem cells are very simple to collect, without any mortality and morbidity. Dental pulp stem c...
