TE provides newly regenerated tissues by the appliance of cells, scaffold, and signaling molecules. In tissue engineering applications, mesenchymal stem cells are among the most-used populations. The stem cell is a multipotent cell, which can proliferate and differentiate to a specific cell. These cells can form many different tissue types. Since the discovery and characterization of multipotent mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) from bone marrow (BM), MSC-like populations from other tissues have now been characterized based on the ‘gold standard’ criteria established for BMMSCs. Dental issues have been considered as a potential source for the isolation of MSC-like populations. To date, many unique populations of dental tissue-derived MSCs have been isolated and characterized. This article will review the current dental sources of MSCs, and the properties of these dental tissue-derived MSCs.}, number={1}, publisher={Zonguldak Bulent Ecevit University}
