Abstract: Dental stem cells (DSCs) are mesenchyme stem cells isolated from human teeth and the associated tissues around the teeth. Since the isolation of dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) from dental pulp of teeth in the year of 2000， seven kinds of dental stem cells have been isolated and characterized. In recent years， researches on the characterization and biological functions of DSC have been widely investigated in the basic and clinical application of DSC. This review summarized the recent progress in using DSC to repair the teeth and teethassociated tissues. In addition， the research applications of DSC in stroke， spinal cord injury， Parkinson’s disease， cardiac infarction， diabetes and immune-deficient disorders are discussed in this review.
