Area of Science:

Endocrinology
Stem Cell Biology
Dental Research

Background:

Estrogen regulates hard tissue metabolism via estrogen receptors (ER).
Estrogen deficiency leads to osteoporosis, affecting jaw bones.
Exogenous estrogen can boost mesenchymal stem cell osteogenic potential.

Purpose of the Study:

To review estrogen's effects on dental stem cell proliferation, apoptosis, and differentiation.
To discuss estrogen's role in rodent dental morphogenesis and periodontal remodeling.
To suggest future research directions for estrogen-related tooth regeneration.

Main Methods:

Literature review of studies on estrogen and dental stem cells.
Analysis of evidence from rodent models regarding dental development and bone remodeling.
Synthesis of current knowledge to identify research gaps.

Main Results:

Estrogen significantly influences the proliferation, differentiation, and tissue regeneration of human dental mesenchymal stem cells (DMSCs).
Rodent studies demonstrate estrogen's critical role in dental morphogenesis and periodontal tissue remodeling.
Estrogen signaling pathways are key to maintaining bone density and tooth structure.

Conclusions:

Estrogen is crucial for dental stem cell function and overall dental health.
Targeting estrogen pathways holds promise for treating osteoporosis-related dental issues.
Further research is needed to harness estrogen for advanced tooth regeneration therapies.
