Tooth integrity is frequently jeopardised by traumatic accidents, hereditary illnesses, and external damaging agents like germs and acids. Alternative, novel dental therapies that complement established restorative and surgical approaches are a medical need that has yet to be satisfied. During the last few years, stem cells have revolutionised medicine. In regenerative dental medicine, stem cells in combination with bioactive scaffolds and nanostructured materials are becoming useful. Dental tissue development using stem cellbased regenerative techniques will greatly improve treatments and have a big impact on dental practise. There is no recognised and dependable stem cell-based treatment that has been implemented into dentistry clinics to yet; nonetheless, technical developments and greater knowledge point to viable dental therapies in the near future.

Teeth have an important part in physiological tasks like mastication and speaking, as well as being a prominent aspect of face attractiveness. The particular combination of hard and soft tissues that make up a tooth allows it to function. Enamel is the human body's toughest tissue, with excellent physical properties that allow it to endure masticatory stresses and protect tooth tissues from chemical and bacterial attacks. Ameloblasts produce the organic components of enamel, including hydroxyapatite prisms, however these cells are destroyed during tooth eruption, leaving human teeth unable to regenerate enamel. Dentin, a less mineralized matrix tightly interconnected with enamel and dental pulp, a densely vascularized and innervated soft connective tissue that occupies the core region of teeth, produces a less mineralized matrix tightly associated with enamel and dental pulp.

Dentin is made up of pulp-derived odontoblasts and is distinguished by the presence of dentinal tubules, which include the cytoplasmic extensions of odontoblasts as well as sensory nerve endings, making it highly sensitive to external stimuli and permeable to germs when enamel is destroyed. A newly developed dentin- or bone-like matrix (i.e., tertiary dentin) protects pulp life after a tooth lesion, but more serious damage often results in pulp necrosis. The roots of teeth, which are made up of dentin and cementum, anchor them to the alveolar bone. The periodontal ligament, a connective tissue that provides stability to the teeth and absorbs mechanical forces during mastication, connects the roots to the bone.

Tooth loss is common as a result of traumatic traumas, infections, and genetic illnesses, as well as age. As a result, new techniques to the repair and regeneration of injured or missing oral and alveolar bone tissues must be developed. Tooth regeneration is particularly difficult due to the unique features of enamel and dentin. Many medical areas, including dentistry, have incorporated technological advances ranging from digitalization to nanotechnology. When compared to traditional dental clinic practises, these advancements promise to provide better, faster, painless, and more successful treatment options.

The profession of dentistry is being transformed by technological advancements and new therapies including stem cells and biomaterials. Despite the fact that these cutting-edge stem cell-based treatment techniques have the potential to improve dental care in the near future, they are not yet available in clinics. Computing-related and tissue engineering technologies provide up a slew of new possibilities for dental medicine, including the development of non-invasive treatments for the synthesis of brand new dental tissues. Advanced biomaterials play a critical role in controlling stem cell activity, ensuring proper tooth repair and performance [1-5].
