Abstract

Stem cells based therapies to repair and regenerate various tissues offer a paradigm shift and provide an alternative therapeutic solution for the treatment of many diseases. Cell therapies may be theoretically applied in all fields of regenerative medicine, including dentistry. In this latter application the therapeutic principles are based on both direct implantation of the cells into the target tissue and the use of scaffolds which act, at the same time, as templates and carriers of cells. In this chapter the current challenges in stem cells field and in particular their differentiation toward oral tissues will be discussed. The potential role of mesenchymal stem cells derived from bone marrow, adipose tissue, periodontal ligament, and pulp as a source of stem cells for oral tissues regeneration will be considered.
