PRESENTATION OF A NEW SOURCE FOR TEETH TISSUE ENGINEERING

Tooth regeneration is a biological technique to solving problems of tooth loss. The detection of various stem cells in unerupted tooth buds, dental pulp or bone marrow has provided opportunities for their management in dentin-pulp repair. However, these cells types are limited by: availability, invasiveness of extraction and in some cases limited proliferative capacity. Herein we hypothesized that endometrial adult stem cells could be induced into odontoblasts.
