    Age-dependent chronic and aggressive periodontitis patients need renewal of soft and hard tissue like periodontal ligament, gingiva, cementum and alveolar bone. Hence, multipotent-Mesenchymal Stromal Cells (MSCs) of different dental origin like Dental Pulp (DP); Periodontal Ligament (PDL); Gingiva; Apical Papilla (AP) may play important role in regeneration of periodontal tissue. For the accomplishment of this objective, we standardized and validated the manufacturing process of dental-MSCs sources like DP, PDL, AP and gingiva from the subjects ranging from the age of 13 to 60 years. As per, International guidelines, we isolated and enumerated plastic-adherent MSCs at different time-points from different dental sources, phenotypically characterized these cells and differentiated them into osteogenic, adipogenic, and chondrogenic cells. Importantly, in subjects from 13-31 years copious.. View More»
