objective: the exfoliated human deciduous tooth (shed) contain multipotent stem cells that identified to be a population of highly proliferative and clonogenic .these cells are capable of differentiating into a variety of cell types including neural cells, adipocytes, and odontoblasts. material and methods: normal exfoliated human deciduous incisors collected from six- to nine-years-old childre...

Stem cells from human exfoliated deciduous teeth (SHED) are highly proliferative pluripotent cells that can be retrieved from primary teeth. Although SHED are isolated from the dental pulp, their differentiation potential is not limited to odontoblasts only. In fact, SHED can differentiate into several cell types including neurons, osteoblasts, adipocytes, and endothelial cells. The high plasti...

Fifteen years have been passed after the first discovery of human dental pulpderived stem cells. Now, four types of stem cells are isolated from human dental pulp tissues, and are identified as dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs), stem cells from human exfoliated deciduous teeth (SHED), stem cells from apical papilla (SCAP), and human supernumerary tooth-derived stem cells (SNTSCs). Recent investiga...

Dental pulp has been identified as a novel and promising stem cell source. The following systematic review presents and summarises in vivo studies that have used stem cells from the dental pulp of permanent and deciduous teeth to repair or regenerate non-dental tissues. An electronic customised search was performed using 4 different databases (Entrez PubMed, Cab Abstracts, Scopus and Web of Sci...

Stem cells from human exfoliated deciduous teeth have been identified as a new post-natal stem cell population with multipotential differentiation capabilities, including regeneration of mineralized tissues in vivo. To examine the efficacy of utilizing these stem cells in regenerating orofacial bone defects, we isolated stem cells from miniature pig deciduous teeth and engrafted the critical-si...

Epithelial cells are important in the regeneration of oral mucosal tissue. The cell source is commonly derived from tissue biopsy, which obtained through surgery. Stem human exfoliated deciduous teeth (SHED) were demonstrated to differentiate into multiple types. As it can be readily available teeth, induced and become a potential epithelial for study. This study aims examine mixture growth fac...
