The Scope of Stem Cells in Periodontal Regeneration: A Review

Abstract

Chronic periodontitis is an inflammatory disease that destroys the tooth's supporting structures. Periodontal therapy's ultimate goal is to regenerate these destroyed structures. Stem cells are the most recent periodontal regeneration entrant. Dental Mesenchymal Stem Cells (DMSC) are currently the focus of research since they can be extracted with relative simplicity and have a low donor morbidity. As a result, this review has gone through all of the distinct DMSC that are available, the many properties that support their capacity to differentiate into periodontal cells, and the extent to which they have been used in periodontal regeneration. Also, we have drawn attention to various innovations in the use of stem cells for periodontal tissue engineering and the extent of translational research with promising results in periodontal regeneration.
