“…A recent study also showed that dental socket‐derived stem/progenitor cells from the early healing period of sockets, which originate from the remaining PDL, apical papilla, surrounding alveolar bone, and circulating MSCs, exhibit a higher capacity of colony formation, proliferation, and osteogenic differentiation than bone marrow‐derived MSCs (BMSCs), as well as the ability to regenerate periodontal tissue in 1‐wall bone defects 32 . ESEHT at ≈10 days contains a lot of cytokines, such as bone morphogenetic protein, vascular endothelial growth factor, osteocalcin, chemokine (C‐X‐C motif) ligand 12 (Cxcl12), and Runx2, 17–20 that are equivalent to the growth factors with osteoinductivity in tissue engineering. This may be the main mechanism by which ESEHT showed the stronger effect on proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of stem cells than PAB in the present study.…”
