Since 1990, growth factors and platelet concentrates have been considered novel and have been widely used in oral and maxillofacial surgery. In the following years, biomaterials, as well as various types of scaffolds and autologous tissues, were increasingly used. Stem cells are defined as special cells that have the capacity to both self-renew and give rise to a cell population that can be differentiated.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Aim:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The aim of this study was to investigate and compare the yield of primary cells from dental pulp and gingival tissue.
