Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Periodontal ligament has important role in tooth support, blood supply, sensing, maintenance and regeneration of periodontal tissues. Break down of the periodontal tissues due to periodontitis and other reasons can result in undesirable tooth extraction. In the recent years, it is expected that the regeneration of periodontal tissues using periodontal ligament cell sheet. To achieve this regenerative therapy, large amount of periodontal ligament cells is necessary. In the present study, a novel method to establish the iPS cell-derived periodontal ligament cells has been developed.
