Cell therapy methods consists of cell cultivation and growth for treatment of diseases. The scientific community has taken a keen interest in the stem cell therapy due to the stem cells’ ability to preserve their own population and to differentiate into cells from various tissues. Finding a source of stem cells suitable for a therapeutic use depends on several factors, such as their ability to proliferate, their cytogenetic stability, as well as phenotypic characteristics and differentiation potential. In the evolution of bioengineering research, dentistry has been contributing in a very important role, in that it will scan dental pulps, especially the deciduous human teeth as a way of mesenchymal stem cells growth. These findings using pulp of deciduous teeth were the most recent discoveries in the scientific community using stem cells. This article has thus performed a literature review relevant to this important issue.
