Abstract
Research in regenerative therapy has gained momentum recently and has led to remarkable advancements in molecular biology field. Stem cells are special type of cells having unique ability of self renewing and potency. These cells with appropriate biochemical modulation can get converted into desired cells. Stem cells can be successfully isolated from various human tissues and used in curing various diseases as well as in regeneration of tissues. The future is regeneration of whole body organs; that which was once thought to be a fiction can now be possible using stem cell based regenerative therapy. This article aimed to briefly review the literature on stem cells on the basis of their properties, classification, culturing, storage and preservation. Emphasis was given on the stem cells obtained from maxillofacial region and their applications in treating the maxillofacial defects.
