- Use of stem cells in the regeneration of dental tissues: narrative reviewPublication . Gloulou, Kaiss; Coelho, Maria JoãoIntroduction: Stem cells have come to light as a promising field of research in various medical areas, including dentistry. Their unique characteristics, such as self-renewal and differentiation abilities, make them a valuable resource for regenerative medicine and tissue engineering. In the recent years, there has been a growing interest in exploring the potential applications of stem cells in odontology. Objective: This narrative review aims to examine the characteristics of stem cells relevant to dentistry, summarize the latest research advancements, discuss their current applications, assess the state of research, and explore the potential future uses of stem cells in odontology. Methodology: The narrative review conducted for this study was based on Pubmed, ScienceDirect, Scielo, NCBI and ResearchGate, in English and Portuguese. 38 articles were used in the writing of this work. Conclusion: Stem cells show promise in dentistry, reproducing various cells and creating complex tissues. Despite challenges, they offer potential solutions for dental limitations and personalized treatments. They already have some practical applications in other fields of medicine. There are several ongoing clinical trials and research aimed at bringing new applications in stem cell therapies.
