Abstract

Stem cells are unspecialised cells that can give rise to one or more different types of specialized cells. Stem
cell differ from other kinds of cells in the body. Regardless of their source, all stem cells have three general
properties: they are capable of renewing and of dividing themselves for long periods; they are unspecialized;
and they can give rise to specialized cell types. Tooth derived stem cells or dental stem cells also represent
a promising source of cells for regenerative medicine .This review highlights and upgrade the knowledge of
current and future perspective of the regenerative application of dental derived stem cells in areas beyond
tooth and tooth related regeneration.
