Abstract
Cells with a unique capacity for self-renewal and potency are called stem cells. With appropriate biochemical signals stem, cells can be
transformed into desirable cells. Regeneration of oral and maxillofacial structures is earned out by using stem cell therapy, and this has gained
momentum in recent days. Future tissues like tissue engineered bone grafts, engineered joints and cranial sutures can be developed with
stem cell therapy. We have described the properties, types and advantages of dental stem cells. Emphasis is been given to the possibilities of
stem cell therapy in the oral and maxillofacial region including regeneration of tooth and craniofacial defects.
