Journal Title: People's Journal of Scientific Research. - Year 2009, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
Stem Cell has become a booming field for research and therapeutic applications with vast areas yet to be discovered. The pluripotent nature of the stem cells has been studied and used in various scientific fields for curing the disease and regeneration of a body part. Periodontitis, dental caries, craniofacial bone and teeth regeneration are the different areas in dental science which are yet to be studied. Various studies all over the world are going on using stem cells to cure or minimize the pain which a patient goes through diagnosis. This article provides an overview of the different types of stem cells and the different applications of stem cell in dental science.
