Abstract :

Tissue manipulation to achieve aesthetic, structural and functional harmony of dental, oral and craniofacial structures is the basis of all orthodontic and dentofacial orthopedic therapy. The diverse cell types of structure reshaping cells (cementoblasts, odontoblasts, osteoblasts, fibroblasts, chondrocytes and monocytes etc) are considered significantly crucial to achieving successful orthodontic treatment. Cell homing or cell recruitment of progenitor cells is the core concept of tissue regeneration using stem cell therapy. Allografts and other materials like beta-tricalcium-phosphate, hydroxyapetite etc., which have been used to augment bone formation in alveolar defects have demonstrated tooth movements into the areas being augmented. Though the restriction at the time which includes limited availability, translational barriers for cell delivery, high cost of commercialization and difficulties in regulatory approval have precluded to successful clinical translation to tooth regeneration and these technologies need time to mature. However, it is pertinent for the orthodontists to be prepared for paradigm shifts in craniofacial regeneration for optimal and efficient manipulation in conjunction with techniques of the future.
