Abstract
A method for reconstructing a functional tooth by using a carrier loaded with a plurality of mesenchymal stem cells including at least one of a stem cell derived from Apical Papilla (SCAP), Periodontal Ligament Stem Cells (PDLSC), and Dental Pulp Stem Cells (DPSC). The mesenchymal stem cell loaded carrier is planted into a site within a subject's oral cavity to form a bio-root upon which a crown may be affixed, The mesenchymal stem cells will develop new periodontal tissues to stabilize the bio-root. Methods disclosed herein are particularly beneficial for subjects lacking good bone structures for conventional crown treatments.
