Stem cells: potential therapeutics for periodontal regeneration.
This paper is concerned about dental-derived stem cells and their characterization in vitro and in vivo. Additionally, since conventional periodontal techniques remain insufficient to attain complete and reliable periodontal regeneration, the potential of dental-derived stem cells in promoting periodontal tissue regeneration is also reviewed.
