    TLDR Tooth-derived stem cells show promise for regenerating gum tissue but need standardized selection methods.
    The document reviewed the potential of mesenchymal stem cells, particularly those derived from teeth, in the field of periodontal tissue engineering. It highlighted the high proliferation rates and multilineage differentiation capabilities of these cells, making them promising candidates for tissue regeneration. Tooth-derived stem cells were noted for their accessibility and low donor morbidity, having been isolated from various dental tissues such as dental pulp and periodontal ligament. However, the review pointed out the heterogeneity among these stem cell populations and the lack of a standardized method for selecting the most suitable cells for regenerative procedures. The review aimed to provide an overview of the different types of tooth-derived stem cells and discuss their application in periodontal regeneration.
