In the modern era, where biology and biotechnology have replaced the chemistry, we are exploring “biological solutions to biological problems.” The breakthrough of stem cells has produced new possibilities in the regeneration of different organs and tissues. The scope of application of stem cells in dentistry is vast and includes continued root formation, in pulp/dentin tissue regeneration, in replantation and transplantation, and reconstruction of the periodontium, in cancer management and research. In few years plenty of studies have been conceded which showed that stem cells and tissue engineering are giving rise to a separate branch termed “Regenerative Dentistry” that will have its own position in future dental practice. This article provides an insight into the various aspects of stem cells therapies in oral mucosal lesions and its future perspectives.
