Characterization of Dental Pulp Stem Cell Populations in the Teeth of Patients With Neurofibromatosis Type 1 - Therapeutic Potential for Bone Tissue Engineering.

Dental pulp stem cells from NF teeth were successfully obtained and were not different from normal dental pulp stem cells. Although, clinical research using tissue-engineered bone to repair bone defects is still in its infancy, it will eventually enter the clinic and become a routine means of bone defect reconstruction treatment as related disciplines and technologies develop.
