Materials and Methods: An electronic search was done using Cohchrane, PubMed and Google Scholar. Out of 310 articles, only 25 articles have been selected to be included in this review because it is directly related to the topic and they are matching the inclusion criteria of this review: “Language: English” and “Year: 2006-2016”. Results: DPSCs have been widely used as a mesenchymal stem cells source due to easy accessibility and less invasive harvesting. DPSCs could be used for pulpal regeneration, tooth reconstruction, endocrinology, neurology, angiogenesis and vasculogenises. The most common application of DPSCs in the dental field is pulp regeneration. Conclusion: Stem cell-based therapy holds a great promise to solve health problems from both systemic and oral diseases. Studying in DPSCs grows rapidly;however, there are still questionable issues needed to be optimized and answered such as the variable biological capacity of DPSCs.展开更多
