Abstract :

The primary objective of this research is to investigate the major advantages of stem cell dental implants alongside their role in tooth regeneration and their potential to replace the already existing dental implant method. Dental implants are considered the latest teeth replacement technology in the 20th century. Despite its obvious purpose, the treatments are still uncommon due to their extensive healing process and other potential risks regarding infections. On the account of these concerns, scientists are looking into new possibilities of teeth replacement treatment and therapy. Stem cell therapy is commonly used for treating diseases by replacing tissues that are damaged due to injuries or diseases. Stem cells are unspecialized cells and are capable of diving and regrowing themselves. Due to these properties, stem cell dental implants are now considered to be a new alternative to teeth implants.
