Abstract:

The application of single-cell sequencing and spatial transcriptome technology in life science field has been a hot research topic in recent years. By combining single-cell sequencing and spatial transcriptome technology, it can reveal information on specific spatial location of cells at single-cell level to further investigate the mechanism of disease development and disease prevention and treatment. In the field of dentistry, it has been applied to the study on oral tissue stem cells, oral histogenesis and development, oral microbiology and various oral diseases. This paper describes the progress of single-cell sequencing and spatial transcriptome technology in stomatology and looks into the prospect of their combined application, in order to provide new ideas for the diagnosis and treatment of oral diseases.

Key words: single-cell RNA sequencing, spatial transcriptomics, stomatology, bioinformatic analysis
