A review on stem cells in dentistry

Stem cells in dentistry--review of literature.

Stem cells have been successfully isolated from a variety of human and animal tissues, including dental pulp. This achievement marks progress in regenerative dentistry. This article reviews the latest improvements made in regenerative dental medicine with the involvement of stem cells. Although, various types of multipotent somatic cells can be applied in dentistry, two types of cells have been...

Induced Pluripotent Stem (iPS) Cells in Dentistry: A Review

iPS cells are derived from somatic cells via transduction and expression of selective transcription factors. Both viral-integrating (like retroviral) and non-integrating (like, mRNA or protein-based) techniques are available for the production of iPS cells. In the field of dentistry, iPS cells have been derived from stem cells of apical papilla, dental pulp stem cells, and stem cells from exfol...

A review on COVID-19 in dentistry

Background and Aim: Coronaviruses generally cause mild to moderate respiratory and gastrointestinal infections in humans and animals, but the new coronavirus has created one of the biggest problems for human health on Earth. Prior to December 2019, Corona virus viruses have seriously attacked human populations twice in the form of MERS and SARS diseases. Coronavirus has now caused millions of p...

Applications of Nanotechnology in Dentistry: A Review

Objective: Maintaining the health of oral tissues is a major goal in dentistry. However, limitations in dental materials, instruments, procedures and medications prevent achievement of this goal. Advances in nanotechnology have paved the way to approach this goal. This study reviews the advances on nanotechnology in dentistry. Review of Literatures: In this review study, Google Scholar, PubMed...
