Abstract

Recently the potential of oral derived stem cells is being extensively studied.
There is a significant number of research conducted on different stem cells from pulp cavity as well as from periodontal ligament, dental follicle and gingiva.
How far are we from applying them into the practice? What is already available for clinical application. What knowledge should we possess to successfully benefit from their potential. We have analyzed numerous scientific papers in order to summarize current status of dental stem cells.
