Combination of Dental Capping Agents With LowLevel Laser Therapy Increases the Cell Viability Percent of Stem Cells From Apical Papilla (SCAPs). [PDF]
Introduction: Dental pulp capping is a technique that is highly applicable in dental restorations. In this technique, a material is directly placed over the exposed pulp tissue, which promotes pulp healing and generates reparative dentin. Herein, we aimed to investigate the combined effect of different pulp capping agents, including mineral trioxide ...

Stem Cells from the Apical Papilla (SCAPs): Past, Present, Prospects, and Challenges
Dental diseases occurring on young permanent teeth usually lead to the premature arrest of tooth root development. Sustained tooth root elongation is necessary to achieve the goal of long-term preservation of affected teeth.

Schisantherin A promotes neural differentiation of stem cells from apical papilla to improve mandibular development via mental nerve repair [PDF]
Background Evidence shows neural involvement in bone remodeling; regulating maxillofacial nerve repair modulates jawbone. Neural stem cell (NSC) therapy is limited by sources/ethics, but neural crest-derived dental mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) like stem
