BACKGROUND Stem cells are the "master cells" in our body. Stem cells are biological cells that have the capacity to differentiate into specialized cells or produce more stem cells. These cells are studied and can be helpful in the management of various diseases, due to their ability to form connective, neural, bone, muscle and dental tissues. The breakthrough in stem cell research has brought revolutionary changes in the way of treating diseases. This article discusses numerous translational applications of stem cells in craniofacial and maxillofacial area.
