DENTAL STEM CELL SOURCES AND THEIR POTENTIALS FOR BONE TISSUE ENGINEERING
Tissue engineering arouses excitement in all
medical fields that deal with bone healing. The
ultimate aim of these approaches are to shorten
the healing process, obtain highly differentiated
functional tissues and eliminate the need for a second
surgical site required for autogenous bone grafts.
Mesenchymal stem cells have been increasingly
used in the experiments which were conducted in
these fields and the results are promising. Dental
stem cells have come to the forefront both because
of their relative ease of access and also their
superior characteristics. This article investigates
the importance of dental stem cells for bone tissue
engineering and their regeneration potentials
