"Dental regeneration therapy using dental stem cells”

INTRODUCTION: Regenerative dentistry has undergone significant advances in recent years, and stem cells of dental origin have emerged as a promising therapeutic tool in this field. AIM: To investigate the different types of stem cells of dental origin and to examine their potential application in regenerative therapy in dentistry. METHODOLOGY: A selection of articles published between 2018 and 2023 was performed using the recognized databases Scopus, PubMed, ProQuest, Redalyc, Ovid and Medline. RESULTS: Five main sources of stem cells of dental origin were identified, which have demonstrated their ability to differentiate into specialized cells of dental tissue, such as odontoblasts, osteoblasts and myocytes, which have diverse applications such as in the treatment of periodontitis, bone repair, regeneration of dental pulp after necrosis and the development of new teeth. CONCLUSION: This study contributes to broaden our knowledge of this evolving field and highlights the importance of continuing to investigate and explore the therapeutic applications of dental stem cells.
