Abstract (original English)

Periodontal bony defects pose a significant challenge in periodontology, necessitating advanced regenerative approaches to restore the lost structures. Stem cell-based therapies have emerged as a promising solution due to their ability to differentiate into various cells, modulating the regenerative microenvironment. This narrative review explores the potential of stem cells derived from multiple sources in treating periodontal bony defects. Additionally, we examine evidence from both animal and human studies, highlighting advancements, clinical outcomes, and limitations. By investigating these findings, this article provides a comprehensive overview of the advantages of stem cell-based therapies compared to other regenerative techniques in addressing periodontal bony defects and discusses the limitations of their translation into routine clinical practice.

What this study does not prove

  • • This study does not prove SVF is an approved treatment or a replacement for standard care.
  • • This is a narrative review: it collects no new patient data and does not systematically appraise evidence quality.
