The objective of this study was to realize a scoping review the literature in
order to identify the profile of DPSCs isolation and analyze the possible risk
factors that could change the native behavior of these cells. An initial search
was conducted using the following MeSH terms: “(dental pulp stem cell [MeSH])”;
“(dental pulp [MeSH])” AND “(stem cell [MeSH])”; “(“dental pulp stem cell”
[MeSH]”)”. The electronic search was done without date restriction up to and
including April 2014, in PubMed, Scopus, Scielo and ISI Web of Knowledge
databases. Studies were submitted to inclusion and exclusion criteria and 222
articles were included. Data showed that over the past 15 years many studies
have been conducted using DPSCs. However this is the first systematic review
regarding the isolation of stem cell, and more specifically of dental pulp stem
cells. The isolation of dental pulp stem cells showed great variability,
hampering the development of standard protocols to achieve in vitro dental pulp
stem cells with similar characteristics. This scoping review combined, for the
first time, the methodologies used for dental pulp stem isolation, highlighting
the most frequently used.
