[Cellular technologies in dentistry and maxillofacial surgery]
Abstract
Recent clinical and experimental researches on application of mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) in dentistry and maxillofacial surgery showed the efficiency of cellular technologies for acceleration of tissue regeneration and implants integration. However use of MSC solely and in combination with other substances has its advantages and disadvantages. There is lack of scientific data on contraindications and complications of cellular therapy whereas the analysis of failures of MSC application will allow accurately define indications and raise the efficiency of cellular technologies. There is a strong need for further clinical and experimental studies on MSC application for bone tissue regeneration.
