Abstract
In forensic point of view and for genetic study, biological samples collected at a crime scene serve as a significant tool, in order to resolve crimes by identifying the person. In some scenarios, individual identification gets masked by chimera persons, where the chimera person cells will have different DNA. The use of biological traces which are recorded by a person’s touch while handling items raises the chance of forensic study system. Therefore, DNA profiling can be obtained from items that were touched, which inturn becomes an useful means for forensic mode of investigation. Chimerism investigations are recognized processes to examine the condition of Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation (HSCT) to analyze peripheral blood and recipient’s bone marrow samples for non-malignant and malignant hematologic diseases. In adults, ectomesenchymal cells identified in oral and maxillofacial tissues are promising for future dental stem cell therapies, because the oral tissues area rich source for stem cells. Dental stem cells have various expressive profiles and exist in specific niches. Apart from these applications, this review article highlights dental stem cells significances in forensic dental investigations.
