Abstract

The stem-cells have been employed in diverse health areas, also in the odontology aiming the dental formation and regenation. Mesenchymals cells and dental pulp are sources of stem cell capable of differenciation in fibroblasts, cemetoblasts, osteoblasts conecctive tissue compounds and odontoblasts involved in dentina formation. So that such differentiantion occurs, some signals called morphogens are necessary, that will direct the stages of development and dental regenetarion. One of the challenges of tecidual engineering is to unmask these signals and stages to try to understand the necessary signallings for the substitution tooth reproduction. Advances of researches with stem-cells and tecidual bioengineering open chances for develop new therapies that aim the restoration of structural integrity of dental tissue.
