Abstract: Abstract:The discovery of dental stem cells has received extensive attention because of its significance for the development of novel cellular therapies in dentistry. Dental stem cells are also excellent for studies on cellular processes during dental tissue development or regeneration. Multipotent undifferentiated cells in the dental follicle are one example of dental stem cells, having been used in studies on cellular processes during the differentiation into alveolar osteoblasts and cementoblasts,which are important forperiodontal tissue.This review summarizes current knowledge about the influence of signaling pathways, transcription factors and extracellular matrix proteins on the osteogenic differentiation of DFCs.

Key words: dental follicle cells, osteogenic differentiation, transcription factors, signaling pathways, periodontium
