It is challenging to completely and predictably regenerate the missing periodontal tissues caused by trauma or disease. To periodontium, there a need consider several aspects that co-occur with development. This study provides an overview of most up-to-date investigations on characteristics immunomodulatory features Periodontal Ligament Stem Cells (PDLSCs) recent interventions performed using t...

objectives: periodontal tissue regeneration for treatment of periodontal disease has not yet been mastered in tissue engineering. stem cells, scaffold, and growth factors are the three main basic components of tissue engineering. periodontal ligament (pdl) contains stem cells; however, the number, potency and features of these cells have not yet been understood. this study aimed to isolate and ...

UNLABELLED Hertwig's epithelial root sheath (HERS) cells are a unique population of epithelial cells in the periodontal ligament compartment. To date, their functional role has not been fully elucidated. Our hypothesis was that HERS cells may be involved in regulating differentiation of periodontal ligament stem cells (PDLSCs) and forming cementum in vivo. In this study, we found that HERS cell...

Background The present study aims to comparatively evaluate the isolation and quantification of stem cells derived from dental pulp and periodontal ligament of a permanent tooth and to assess their viability and proliferation on a platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) scaffold. Materials and Methods A total of 15 systemically healthy individuals between the age group of 15-25 years requiring third molar...

objectives : stem cell (sc) therapy is a promising technique for tissue regeneration. this study aimed to compare the viability and proliferation ability of periodontal ligament stem cells (pdlscs) isolated from the periodontium of healthy and periodontitis-affected teeth to obtain an autologous, easily accessible source of scs for tissue regeneration in periodontitis patients. materials and me...

Periodontal regeneration represents the ultimate goal of periodontal therapy. The current regenerative techniques have limited success rates especially in advanced periodontal defects. Currently the research is focused on novel cell-based approaches for periodontal regeneration to overcome the limitations of existing treatment. The human clinical trial on stem cells based periodontal regenerati...

Recent studies have revealed the existence of stem cells in various human tissues including dental structures. We aimed to establish primary cell cultures from human dental pulp and periodontal ligament, to identify multipotential adult stem cells in these cultures, and to study the differentiation capacity of these cells to osteogenic and to neuronal fates. Dental pulp and the periodontal liga...

Stem cells are a unique type of cell that forms the basis of the development, growth and survival of a living organism. Though the term is often used to describe controversial embryonic stem cells, there are many different types of stem cells, classified by their original location and/or method of formation. Stem cells are undifferentiated cells that go on developing into any of more than 200 t...

Cell-based tissue repair of the tooth and - tooth-supporting - periodontal ligament (PDL) is a new attractive approach that complements traditional restorative or surgical techniques for replacement of injured or pathologically damaged tissues. In such therapeutic approaches, stem cells and/or progenitor cells are manipulated in vitro and administered to patients as living and dynamic biologica...
