Totipotent stem cells (zygotes) can give rise to a full viable organism and plueripotent stem cells (embryonic stem cells) can differentiate into any cell type within the human body. Stem cells have a unique capacity of not only to give rise to more stem cells (self-renewal) but also to generate differentiated progeny.This book is going to focus on the applications of stem cells in treatment of dentofacial defects & deformities and to propose possible advantages of stem cell therapy in enhancing orthodontic treatment. The tissue changes that are involved during orthodontic tooth movement such...
