Figure 1: SCPs give rise to pulp cells and odontoblasts in the developing tooth. Figure 3: Schwann cells give rise to dental MSCs in the adult incisor. Figure 4: Schwann-cell-derived cells participate ...

A team of researchers including those from Biotechnology Center of the TU Dresden (BIOTEC), have found that stem cells could be used for several forms of tissue engineering including tooth repair.

Unusual complication of orofacial trauma. Occurs in all age groups. Suggests minimum monitoring required. Oro-facial trauma is common and forms a large component of any maxillofacial service workload.

The soft, living part of the tooth—tooth pulp—is known to contain a small reserve of stem cells. These stem cells, scientists agree, can help repair damaged teeth, forming both hard and soft tooth ...
