Abstract The human teeth and oral cavity harbor various populations of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), so called
dental-derived stem cells (D-dSCs) with self-renewing and multilineage differentiation capabilities. D-dSCs properties
involves a strong paracrine component resulting from the high levels of bioactive molecules they secrete in response
to the local microenvironment. Altogether, this viewpoint develops a general picture of current innovative strategies
to employ D-dSCs combined with biomaterials and bioactive factors for regenerative medicine purposes, and offers
information regarding the available scientific data and possible applications. More >
