The dental tissue scaffold must provide a favorable surface for dental pulp stem cell attachment and proliferation. Employing nanohydroxyapatite (HA) and nanofluorohydroxyapatite (FHA) beside synthetic and organic polymer in favor of scaffolds would be used in bone and dental tissue engineering. In this research, nanoHA and FHA/chitosan scaffolds were synthesized by freeze-drying technique. Surface morphology, chemical composition and hydrophilicity have a great impact on initial cell attachment which will further affect the cell viability and proliferation which evaluated by SEM, XRD and contact angle measurement. Bioactivity of scaffolds was investigated by immersion in simulated body fluid (SBF) and cell proliferation assay. In freeze-drying technique percentage usage of hydroxyapatite could be risen up to 40% and shown better macro-mechanical and physical properties and bioactivity. According to obtained results by adding chitosan, contact angle was decreased by %54 and %37 for polycaprolactone (PCL)/HA and PCL/FHA scaffolds. In addition, addition of chitosan causes significant increase in the cell proliferation for PCL/HA and PCL/FHA up to 81% and 164%, respectively. These results indicate that PCL/FHA/chitosan scaffold represent a big potential for dental tissue engineering.

Stem cell-based dental tissue regeneration is a new and exciting field that has the potential to transform the way that we practice dentistry. It is, however, imperative its clinical application is supported by solid basic and translational research. In this way, the full extent of the potential risks involved in the use of these technologies will be understood, and the means to prevent them will be discovered. Therefore, the aim of this chapter is to analyze the state-of-the-science with regard to dental pulp stem cell research in dental tissue engineering, the new developments in biomimetic scaffold materials customized for dental tissue applications, and to give a prospectus with respect to translational approaches of these research findings towards clinical application.

Dental pulp cell research might open a promising application in tooth tissue regeneration. The aim of this study is to establish a protocol for in vitro culture the human dental pulp stem cells to apply in tissue engineering. Human premolar and impacted third molars were collected and disinfected. Dental pulp fragments were cultured with Dulbecco's Modified Eagle Medium: Nutrient Mixture F-12 (DMEM/F12) medium supplemented with 10% Fetal Bovine Serum (FBS). Dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) were identified using proliferation assay, RT-PCR and flow cytometry. Growth of DPSCs on dentin surface was assessed by MTT assay. The study showed that we successfully isolated, cultured and characterized dental pulp cells by outgrowth method. Cultured population of cells expressed in high level of Oct4, CD146, CD90, CD44. DPSCs proliferated on chemically and mechanically treated dentin surface. This research provides important information and a basis for further investigations to establish dental tissue engineering protocols.
