## Abstract Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are self‐renewing cells with the ability to differentiate into various mesodermal‐derived tissues. Recently, we have identified in adult human periodontal ligament (PDL) a population of stem cells (PDL‐MSCs) with the ability to differentiate into osteoblast
