    Abstract The discovery of stem cells has developed

    new but strange possibilities in the

    regeneration of different tissue and organs.

    Presently, research works and studies to

    know potential and capabilities of stem cells

    and their use in dentistry are becoming an

    interesting topic. In a few years lots of

    studies and demonstrations have been

    carried out which show that stem cells and

    tissue engineering are giving rise to a

    separate branch named Regenerative Dentistry that will have its own position in future dental clinical practice. This short

    review discusses the therapeutic potential of

    stem cells in regenerative dentistry as seen

    in studies and demonstrations carried out by

    different workers.

    Keywords: Dental Stem cells,

    Regenerative Dentistry, Stem cells and

    Dentistry, Stem Cells, pulp

    regeneration, Regeneration therapy.

    Introduction Human dental tissue have limited potentials

    to regenerate but the discovery of dental

    stem cells have developed new and

    surprising scenario in regenerative

    dentistry[1]. Stem cells are clonogenic cells

    having capabilities of self renewal and

    multi-lineage differentiation [2]. Topic of

    Stem cells became an interesting topic in the

    field of Dentistry to know their

    characteristic features and potentials of

    differentiation. Tissue engineering is the

    branch that brings biology, bio-engineering,

    clinical sciences and biotechnology together

    for the purpose of generating new tissues

    and organs [3]. Since last few decades,

    Scientists have started to search the

    potential applications of stem cells for the

    repair and regeneration of dental and

    dentofacial structures. Studies show the role

    of stem cell and guided tissue regeneration

    in periodontal treatment [4-6], in making of

    Bio-tooth [7-18], in regenerating pulp like

    tissue for regenerative endodontics [19, 20], in

    dental implantology[21] and in regeneration

    of craniofacial structure [1, 22, 23]. Literature

    increasingly clears that conceptual approach

    to therapy, named regenerative dentistry, will surely have its own position in the

    future clinical practice of dentistry. This

    short review discusses the potentials of stem

    cells in newly emerged branch regenerative dentistry.

    Stem Cells in Regenerative Dentistry Researchers define stem cells as the

    clonogenic cells with the capability of self

    renewal and multi-lineage differentiation

    and also have the capabilities of generating

    complex tissues and various organs [2, 24].

    Stem cells were discovered on November 5,

    1998 by workers at the University of

    Wisconsin (UWMadison) and Johns Hopkins University (JHU). Embryonic stem

    cells and postnatal stem cells are two types

    of stem cells [2, 25-28]. During the process of

    embryo development, at early stages,

    embryonic stem cells are found in inner cells

    of blastocyst [29]. Embryonic stem cells are

    the main source of cells in regenerative

    therapies because these cells have potential

    of self-renewal and capability to generate

    new tissues and organs. Embryonic stem

    cells are totipotent , however due to legal

    and ethical issues it is not feasible to use

    embryonic stem cells in the laboratory and

    clinics [30-32]. Post-natal stem cells can be

    isolated from various tissues such as bone

    marrow, neural tissue, skin, dental pulp,

    and the periodontal ligaments [2]. Postnatal

    stem cells also have the capabilities of self

    renewal, however if we compare multipotent

    postnatal stem cells with totipotent

    embryonic stem cells then it is found that

    postnatal stem cells have very limited

    potential of differentiation into other types

    of cells[1]. Main advantage of postnatal stem

    cells is minimum risk of immune rejection

    during tissue transplantation. Secondly,

    these cells can be taken from donor

    individuals at any stage of their life [33].

    Non-Hematopoietic Mesenchymal Stem Cells Many researchers studied bone marrow-

    derived mesenchymal stem cells and

    demonstrated their therapeutic effect. In the

    last decade, these cells have proven to be

    successful to treat leukemia [34]. Non-

    hematopoietic bone marrow-derived

    mesenchymal stem cells are also known as

    BMSCs-bone marrow stromal cells [35]. Mesenchymal stem cells have the potential

    to differentiate into osteoblasts (bone

    forming cells), chondrocytes (cartilage

    forming cells) or retinal cells [36-39]. Many

    researchers demonstrated therapies

    combining non dental mesenchymal stem

    cells and dental mesenchymal stem cells [19,

    32, 40, 41]. A new study demonstrated that

    enamel matrix proteins have positive effect

    on differentiation BMSCs into cementoblasts

    (cementum forming cells) [42]. A recent case

    by Yamada Y et al. (2006) presented a

    patient with periodontitis, demonstrated the

    use of MSCs in combination with platelet

    rich plasma resulting in a reduction of

    probing depths by 4mm with a 4mm gain in

    clinical attachment level with disappearance

    of bleeding and mobility of tooth [43]. This

    demonstration proved that MSCs can

    differentiate themselves into periodontal

    tissue resulting in increase tooth support by

    gain in clinical attachment and hence

    decrease in mobility of tooth. So, it can be

    thought that in future stem cell will be a

    successful treatment to disappear or reduce

    mobility of human tooth.

    The first layer of human tooth is made up of

    enamel, which is toughest structure of

    human body and this enamel is formed by

    ameloblast cells. Hu et al. demonstrated that

    bone marrow-derived cells can be

    differentiated into ameloblast (enamel

    forming) like cells [44]. After this experiment

    Lesot and colleagues cultured a combination

    of murine bone marrow cells, dental

    epithelial cells and dental mesenchymal cells.

    Morphological changes were observed in

    BMSCs and ameloblast specific markers

    amelogenin and ameloblastin were found in

    these morphologically changed cells [44]. This

    demonstration gives an inference that

    BMSCs can be very well programmed to

    differentiate into ameloblast like cells [44]. It

    indicates that in future it is possible to treat

    dental diseases related to ameloblast cells

    and enamel by using stem cells. All these

    researches and demonstrations indicate

    potential possibilities for regenerative

    dentistry.

    Dental Stem Cells In recent studies it has been demonstrated

    that stem cells are present in various dental

    tissues. In the pulp tissue of deciduous teeth

    stem cells are present termed as Stem Cells

    from Human Exfoliated Deciduous teeth

    INTERNATIONAL DENTAL JOURNAL OF STUDENTS RESEARCH| Feb 2013-May 2013| Volume 1| Issue 4

    (SHED) [28]. Dental Pulp Stem Cells (DPSCs)

    is the name given to stem cells which are

    present in Pulp tissue of human teeth [45]. In

    the periodontal ligament researchers found

    Periodontal Ligament Stem Cells (PDLSCs) [71]. While in dental papilla of wisdom teeth

    Stem Cells from Apical Papilla (SCAP) is

    present[46,47] and researchers termed stem cell

    found in dental follicles of developing wisdom

    teeth as Dental Follicle Precursor Cells (

    DFPCs ) [48-50].

    Dental Pulp Stem Cells (DPSCs) Adult dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) were

    discovered in wisdom teeth in 2000 [51].

    Researchers isolated Dental

    ectomesenchymal stem cells from the dental

    pulp of the extracted wisdom teeth [33]. Same

    as BMSC, DPSCs are colony forming plastic

    adherent cells which display very similar

    features [52]. Workers analyzed the profile of

    gene expression of DPSCs and BMSCs which

    show both cells are distinct precursor

    populations but have a very similar gene

    expression level [53]. In a chemically defined

    culture medium, DPSCs can be differentiated

    into smooth and skeletal muscle cells,

    neurons, and cartilage and bone cells [54]. The

    difference between BMSCs and DPSCs is

    DPSCs can differentiate into odontoblast like

    cells (dentin forming cells) [54]. To determine

    the existence of DPSCs, previously developed

    methodology was used for the isolation and

    characterization of BMSCs and pluripotent

    postnatal stem cells. DPSCs were

    characterized as clonogenic and highly

    proliferative stem cells [45]. S. Gronthos et al.

    demonstrated that DPSCs possess all

    qualities of stem cells [55].Various other

    studies have revealed the potentials of

    BMSCs in the treatment of certain diseases

    and some conditions such as injury to the

    spinal cord, muscular dystrophies, corneal

    alterations, critical size bone defects and

    systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) [56-61]. It

    is reported that DPSCs can differentiate into

    endothelial cells which can make functional

    blood carrying blood vessels [62, 63].

    Human teeth have pulp chamber containing

    pulp tissue, when this pulp tissue get infected

    then it results in tooth pain. And to make

    patient relieve from pain dentist perform root

    canal treatment in which dentist remove pulp

    from pulp chamber and replace with artificial

    material like gutta purcha. In this process

    patient get relive from pain but he loose

    vitality of tooth. Stem cells derived from the

    dental pulp can form pulp like tissue [19, 20].

    Pulp-like tissue could be engineered in vitro,

    using DPSCs seeded into synthetic matrices

    made with polyglycolic acid [64, 65]. So as stem

    cells can differentiate in pulp like tissue and

    dentine pulp complex [7], in future it is

    possible to replace infected pulp tissue of a

    paining tooth with newly generated pulp like

    tissue differentiated from stem cell and then

    patient will be without pain along with his

    vital teeth. Hence stem cell is topic of interest

    in discussion for regenerative endodontics.

    A big problem with dental implant is

    improper osteointegration which lead to

    implant failure but DPSCs have the ability to

    form bone that is useful for the

    osseointegration of dental implants coated

    with hydroxyapatite crystals, and may give

    good bone implant contact level [21].Hence

    stem cell can increase the success rate of

    dental implants. Ming Yan et al. suggested

    that DPSCs are useful in reconstructing

    dentin pulp complex and biotooth [7].

    Human tooth is made up of enamel, dentin,

    and cementum and pulp tissue. Enamel is

    formed by ameloblast cells, dentin is made by

    odntoblast cells, cementum is made by

    cementoblast cells. Stem cell can differentiate

    into all four tissues. Hence Ming Yan et al.

    suggested that Bio-tooth can be made from

    stem cells [7]. There are many studies which

    demonstrate that reconstruction of the bio-

    tooth is possible with dental stem cells [8-18]

    Stem Cells of Human Exfoliated

    Deciduous Teeth (SHEDS) Researchers have isolated ectomesenchymal

    stem cells from the dental pulp tissue of

    exfoliated incisors and they named them as

    stem cells of human exfoliated deciduous teeth

    (SHEDs) [66]. Studies suggest that SHEDs have

    the ability of differentiation into odontoblasts,

    neural cells and adipocytes [66]. Workers

  • 25

    INTERNATIONAL DENTAL JOURNAL OF STUDENTS RESEARCH| Feb 2013-May 2013| Volume 1| Issue 4

    compared SHEDs with DPSCs and found that

    SHEDs have a higher rate of proliferation [28].

    Same as DPSCs, SHEDs also have the

    potential to form bone that might be useful

    during osseointegration of dental implants

    coated with hydroxyapatite crystal and may

    result in good levels of bone implant contact [21].

    Seo et al. have demonstrated that SHEDs have

    the potential to repair calvarial defects in

    immunocompromised mice [67]. Studies shows

    that SHEDs and DPSCs both have the

    potential of generating tissues that have

    similar morphological and functional

    characteristics resembling the human dental

    pulp [62, 63, 68, 69].

    Periodontal Ligament Stem Cells

    (PDLSCS) The periodontium is a connective tissue organ

    which attaches the teeth with the bones of

    the jaws. It consists of periodontal ligament,

    gingiva, cementum and alveolar bone [80].

    Human PDLSCs have been successfully

    isolated by scientists from the root of

    extracted teeth [70, 71]. Researchers

    demonstrated that if PDLSCs with

    hydroxyapatite (HA) or tricalcium phosphate

    (TCP) as a carrier are transplanted into

    immunocompromised mice, then it can be

    seen that PDLSCs have potentials of

    regenerating typical cementum and

    periodontal ligament like structure [4].

    Studies suggest that if PDLSCs are

    transplanted directly into periodontal defect

    areas which are caused by periodontal

    disease, it might be a viable therapeutic

    approach [72, 73]. On the other hand, under in

    vitro conditions, PDLSCs display a low

    ability of differentiation into osteogenic tissue [70]. PDLSCs can get differentiated into cells

    or tissues that are very similar to

    periodontium [70]. Yi Liu, Ying Zheng, Ding et

    al. demonstrated the role of autologous

    PDLSCs to treat periodontitis in miniature

    pig preclinical model and their study

    indicated that a multilevel cellular or

    biomaterial treatment may be an optimal

    therapeutic approach for regeneration of

    periodontal tissue [4].Researches have also

    isolated PDLSCs from pigs and sheeps [47, 74].

    They also suggest that PDLSCs can

    successfully establish a functional

    periodontium [47]. Kawanabe et al. identified

    highly proliferating stem cells in human

    periodontal ligaments [75]. These

    demonstrations indicate that in future, tissue

    of the periodontium made by stem cell can be

    used as a treatment modality to replace the

    diseased periodontium around teeth so as to

    disappear mobility of tooth cause due to

    diseased periodontium. Many more studies

    are required for PDLSCs to provide new

    insights useful for regenerative therapy in

    dentistry.

    Stem Cells from Apical Papilla

    (SCAP) Researchers isolated stem cells from dental

    apical papilla of wisdom teeth or incisors of

    four months old mini pig termed as Stem Cells from apical papilla [46, 47]. Dental papilla is basically an embryonic tissue that

    is responsible for the formation of dental pulp

    and the crown. But SCAPs can only be

    isolated at certain specific stages of the

    development of tooth. As dental papilla

    contain higher number of adult stem cells

    than mature dental pulp, SCAPs have a

    greater potential for regenerating dentin

    than DPSCs [47]. SCAPs originate from an

    embryonic-like tissue so they are less likely to

    be differentiated than DPSCs. Study by

    Sonoyama W et al. demonstrate formation of

    dental connective tissue is induced by a

    combination of SCAPs and PDLSCs [47]. But

    this study is not clear as to which stem cells

    were important for the synthesis of dental

    connective tissue [47].

    Dental Follicle Precursor Cells

    (DFPCs) The dental follicle contains the precursors of

    the periodontium so it plays a very important

    role in development of tooth [48]. Cells of the

    dental sac develop into a mature

    periodontium which consists of alveolar bone,

    cementum and the periodontal ligaments

    (PDL) [48]. Research workers have observed

    that Hertwigs epithelial root sheath (HERS)

  • 26

    INTERNATIONAL DENTAL JOURNAL OF STUDENTS RESEARCH| Feb 2013-May 2013| Volume 1| Issue 4

    disintegrates into epithelial fragments and

    allows contact between surface of dentin and

    dental follicle ectomesenchymal cells, and

    here these cells differentiate into mature

    cells of the periodontium [76,77]. This

    demonstrate that dental follicles contain

    progenitor cells which have the capability of

    differentiating into cementum forming cells

    (cementoblasts), osteoblasts of the alveolar

    bone, and periodontal ligament fibroblasts.

    Handa K (2002) isolated progenitor cells from

    bovine dental follicles. In in vitro conditions

    these cells formed clusters of spheroid like

    cells and in in vivo conditions, cementum

    matrix formation took place by these cultured

    dental follicle cells [78]. The human dental

    follicle is a tissue which belongs to tooth

    germ, and after wisdom tooth extraction one

    can isolate these cells very easily.

    Ectomesenchymal cells are present in the

    dental follicles; these cells are derived from

    the neural crest [54]. Similar to BMSCs,

    DFPCs are colony forming cells which are

    also plastic adherent. Under in vitro

    conditions these cells can be differentiated

    into osteoblast like cells [54]. Different workers

    suggest that like PDLSCs, DFPCs can also

    differentiate to produce mineralized tissue [48,

    49, 79]. Salles and colleagues completed a study

    which confirms that human DFPCs have

    properties like mesenchymal precursor cells

    [50]. DFSCs can differentiate into

    mesenchymal derived cells like

    cementoblasts, adipocytes and chondrocytes [54].

    Discussion and Conclusion In this article it can be seen the actual

    progress in the research of dental stem cells

    which makes it clear that in the future stem

    cells will lead to development of an

    alternative treatment for dental diseases like

    periodontitis, cavities and pulp pathologies. It

    is also clear that in future stem cells may be

    of help to reconstruct the bone defects related

    to dentoalveolar and craniofacial regions. It

    might be possible to create an entire tooth to

    replace missing teeth. Now it is so clear that

    stem cells and tissue engineering can

    definitely give rise to a new branch

    Regenerative Dentistry by giving alternatives to root canal treatment (RCT)

    and dental implants.

    On the other hand, it is equally true that the

    actual conditions to create the entire tooth

    and tooth tissue in order to use it clinically

    are not completely understood. More studies

    and research works are required to use a

    stem cell in making primordium tooth in vitro

    for transplantation with the intention of

    replacing a lost tooth. Hence the research

    work on stem cells in regenerative dentistry

    should be promoted to have its own position

    in the clinical practice of dentistry in the

    future.
