Dental: Development and Regeneration Potential
In recent decades, stem cell therapies are being recognized as a promising treatment approach for a variety of diseases and disorders. Stem cells possess multi-lineage differentiation and regeneration properties. Like adult stem cells, dental stem cells (DSCs) possess mesenchymal stem cells’ (MSCs) regenerative properties that gained steam in research and clinical applicability. As of 2014, six main dental-related progenitor stem cells have been identified.
Dental Development and Stem Cells
Dental development is one of the important milestones in the human developmental process. Initially, the process starts with induction that involves signaling of epithelium to mesenchyme, to initiate the dental development. The step is followed by proliferation of dental epithelium to form a bud, which later condenses as a crown cap. The morphogenesis requires specialized dental cells, ...
