Abstract Stem Cells obtained traditionally were either embryonic in origin or from adult tissue whichincluded both ethical concerns as well as invasive methods. Stem cells derived from teeth aresimple to obtain and less invasive. In recent times tooth banks have emerged which will be aneasy way to store one’s own stem cells. Stem cells can be easily obtained from deciduous teethand third molars as a result of exfoliation or extraction of impacted teeth. These teeth can bestored for treatment of future diseases by using regenerative procedures. In addition, these cellshave minimum risk of rejection. Stem cells from younger teeth have better potential forregeneration.This review will outline the recent trends in stem cells from human teeth and their banking.
