Stem/progenitor cells are undifferentiated cells characterized by their exclusive ability for self-renewal and multilineage differentiation potential. In recent years, researchers and investigations explored the prospect of employing stem/progenitor cell therapy in regenerative medicine, especially stem/progenitor cells originating from the oral tissues. In this context, the regeneration of the lost dental tissues including enamel, dentin, and the dental pulp are pivotal targets for stem/progenitor cell therapy. The present review elaborates on the different sources of stem/progenitor cells and their potential clinical applications to regenerate enamel, dentin, and the dental pulpal tissues.
干细胞/祖细胞是未分化细胞，其特征在于具有自我更新的独特能力和多谱系分化潜能。近年来，研究人员和研究探索了在再生医学中应用干细胞/祖细胞疗法的前景，尤其是源自口腔组织的干细胞/祖细胞。在这种背景下，包括牙釉质、牙本质和牙髓在内的缺失牙组织的再生是干细胞/祖细胞疗法的关键目标。本综述阐述了干细胞/祖细胞的不同来源及其在再生牙釉质、牙本质和牙髓组织方面的潜在临床应用。
