Dental tissue derived Mesenchymal stem cells and their clinical implications

Arati A. Inamdar, Ajinkya C Inamdar

Abstract :

 

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have long been explored for their potential regenerative properties and have shown promise in various acute and chronic human conditions. MSCs can be derived from various tissue sources, most commonly being bone marrow, cord blood, cord tissue, placenta, amnion, adipose tissues, menstrual blood and dental pulp. Among these sources, dental pulp derived MSCs support their use for not only orthodontic purpose but also for other non–orthodontic conditions for which these MSCs have been in tested through various clinical trials. The allogenic or autologous banking of dental pulp and their stem cells derived from both deciduous as well as permanent teeth present unique non–invasive modality to obtain MSCs. Such bio–banking also allows establishment of clinical grade cell storage banks for clinical uses for various human conditions. In this review article, we provide updates on the clinical conditions for which dental pulp derived stem cells have shown promise.
