Abstract

Aim: To assess the awareness about stem cells and its application among the general public in Chennai.

Introduction: Stem cells are very unique cells and have been isolated from the dental pulp, exfoliated deciduous teeth, the periodontal ligament, the dental follicle and the dental papilla. Adult stem cells can differentiate into many dental components such as dentin, periodontal ligament, cement and dental pulp tissue but not into enamel.

Methodology: A cross sectional questionnaire based study was carried out among the general public in Chennai. This study included 110 participants.

Results: Male participants between the age group of 21-40 years were more aware about stem cells and its sources and its various applications.

Conclusion: The results of this study demonstrated a satisfactory level of awareness among the general public regarding stem cells.
