Monografia Acesso embargado Aplicação terapêutica de células-tronco de dentes decíduos(2018) Aguiar, Fernanda BitencourtThe replacement of conventional materials and treatments with truly biocompatible therapies with greater chances of achieving clinical success in Dentistry and Medicine has been the new proposal and a promising search among scientists in recent years. Stem cells are those capable of inducing tissue regeneration and are therefore potentially therapeutic. Like bone marrow and umbilical cords, dental pulp is one of the available sources of stem cells. These cells present multifunctional potential with great proliferative and regenerative capacity. The objective of this work was to review the literature on the therapeutic application of stem cells from pulp of deciduous teeth, considering the importance of the subject in clinical practice. Because they are collected from a disposable, non-vital tissue and still provide relatively easy access, pulp stem cells from primary teeth are an asset for safety testing and therapeutic viability. The medical field has shown the importance of stem cells in the treatment of diseases such as spinal cord injuries, Parkinson's, Alzheimer's disease, diabetes, liver diseases, kidney damage, alterations in the ocular retina among others. In the area of dentistry, research has been focused on therapies such as regeneration of dental tissues, oral as a whole and bone reconstruction. The vast growth of this area brings to dentists the challenge of seeking a better understanding and qualification in the area of regenerative therapy, in order to inform their patients and / or legal guardians about this source of stem cells, since the tissue of the teeth only available for a short period of time. However, further in vitro experiments and clinical studies are needed to confirm the therapeutic viability of stem cells obtained from these teeth.
