Abstract :

Periodontal disease is chronic inflammation that leads to alveolar bone loss and destruction of periodontal ligament. ?e challenges in regenerative periodontal therapy lie in the ability to induce the regeneration of a complex periodontal apparatus consisting of bone, cementum, and periodontal ligament. ?ough immense advancement has occurred in past few years in periodontal therapy, a complete regeneration of the damaged periodontium still remains a distant goal. A stem cell is a cell that has the ability to divide (self–replicate) for indefinite periods, often throughout the life of an organism. It has been proposed that the bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMMSCs) are very likely to be another cell source of physiological repair of periodontal tissues. ?is article is an overview of the basics of stem cell biology and their potential nature as regenerative cells of periodontium
