The pluripotent nature of embryonic stem cells (ESCs) makes them amenable for regenerative therapies because they can differentiate into cells that form all tissue types within the body (Zandstra and Nagy, 2001). The potential drawbacks to the use of ESCs for cellular therapies include the obvious ethical dilemmas of obtaining ESCs, the potential of cancer or tumor formation and the risk of imm...

BACKGROUND: Pulp damage can lead to dentinogenesis impairment, irreversible pulpitis, or pulp necrosis. Despite being the most used endodontic procedure treat damaged pulp, root canal therapy only results in nonvital teeth which are prone fractures and secondary infection. Pulp-dentin regeneration has a potential regenerate structure similar normal pulp-dentin complex, be achieved by combining ...
