Fig. 1 — The transformation of dental tissue into different dental-derived stem cell populations. Subpopulations can be categorized according to their tissue of origin: dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs), stem cells from human exfoliated deciduous teeth (SHEDs), stem cells from the apical papilla (SCAPs), tooth germ progenitor cells, gingival mesenchymal stem cells, dental follicle stem cells (DFSCs), alveolar bone-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ABMSCs), gingival fibroblastic stem cells (GFSCs), and periodontal ligament stem cells (PDLSCs). The differentiation potential of dental pulp stem cells into various cell types illustrating the plasticity of bone marrow-derived cells is illustrated above
