Table 3. Comparison between stem cells from the apical papilla (SCAP) and dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs).
| Feature | |
|---|---|
| Similarity | Osteogenic differentiation |
| Dentinogenic differentiation | |
| Low adipogenic potential | |
| Difference | Cell proliferation: SCAP > DPSCs |
| Number of population doublings: SCAP > DPSCs | |
| Tissue regeneration capacity: SCAP > DPSCs |
