Abstract

Mesenchymal cell derivatives make up the craniofacial structures. The progeny of mesenchymal cells after asymmetrical division are mesenchymal stem cells, which are found in the adult's numerous craniofacial features. Dental pulp, deciduous dentition, and periodontium have all yielded cells that resemble adult stem cells in their features. Researchers from all over the world are now paying attention to stem cell therapy. Cleft lip and palate, craniofacial microsomia, and head and neck malignancies are only a few examples of the craniofacial malformations that are not only a serious disease, but also a significant burden in daily life. This article provides an overview of the state-of-the-art research on stem cells and their widespread application in orthodontics and dentofacial orthopaedics.
