The Use Of Dental Stem Cell Therapy In The Treatment Of Gum Deterioration

The study of dental mesenchymal stem cells, also known as DMSC, has been very beneficial in gum repair and preventing gum deterioration. Dental mesenchymal stem cells contribute to tooth growth and repair. Due to their accessibility, mesenchymal stem cells provide a favorable model system for studying stem cell function and properties. When monitoring oral health, the study of dental mesenchymal stem cell research is beneficial. Due to tooth accessibility, researchers are given a valuable opportunity to test stem-cell-based treatments for dental disorders. Within the oral cavity, there are many different types of fibroblasts that assist with the formation of the connective tissue that provides support within the mouth. When there is decay of those fibroblast cells, unique dental mesenchymal stem cells are isolated and used to reverse any deterioration or decay. A major stem cell that allows for a healthy oral cavity are human gingival mesenchymal stem cells, also known as GMSCs. GMSCs are essential due to their high proliferation and differentiation rate. By differentiating into cell lineages, GMSCs can be used for regenerative therapy within the oral cavity, specifically the gums.
