Abstract

Stem cells are the pluripotent cells that possess the potential to differentiate into a variety of cells of the human body. The knowledge of stem cell is enhancing not only in the medical field but equally in the dental field too. The stem cells of the dental origin provide remedies to many cell-based therapies in the regenerative medicine. Dental pulp stem cells DPSCs possess the mesenchymal stem cells phenotype and therefore get differentiated into neuron, chondrocytes, cardiomyocytes. The demand of cry preserving human exfoliated deciduous teeth SHED cells or the DPSCs are gaining popularity, in a similar fashion of the umbilical cord blood storage. The dental pulp stem cells are the adult multipotent cells that thrive in the cell abundant zone of the dental pulp. Accordingly, this multipotent characteristic makes the DPSCs an apt model to be incorporated in both dental and medical applications respectively. Therefore, this review which has been executed by both the electronic and hand-searching tools provides an outline of the applications of the dental pulp stem cells in the treatment of various medical disorders, nevertheless other aspects like the long-term clinical trials and studies needs more investigation to ascertain their efficacy.
