STEMS CELLS IN ENDODONTIC THERAPY - A LITERATURE REVIEW

Abstract

Stem cells havea prominent role in developing different types of cell in the body. It is a repair system of the body, which can divide into other cells in humans without any limit. However, In replacing the damaged or lost tooth, many options are available in the stem cell and tissue engineering. Every year, the treatment of endodontics is helpful in saving millions of teeth, now the regenerative ideas for the treatment of disease pulp are being implemented. The process is done to replace the damaged structures like root, dentin, and cells in the dentin - pulp complex which is biologically done is called regenerative endodontic procedures(REPS). The major elements used in regenerative endodontics are the utilization of stem cells and tissue engineering. Tissue engineering is one of the branches in which biology, bioengineering, biotechnology, and clinical sciences are combined for the production of new cells. In dentistry, regeneration of the lost tissue is a developing process. The main aim of stem cell therapy is to treat the not fully developed permanent teeth or the death of the cells and tissues in pulp by regeneration and revascularization. The goal of this review is to discuss the potential impact of stem cells on endodontics therapy.
