Abstract

Hormones are organic substances that are mainly produced by the endocrine glands and are secreted into the blood stream directly. Human Growth Hormone (HGH) Somatotropin is a peptide that stimulates growth, cell production and cell generation in humans and animals and is of importance in development of humans. Individuals with growth hormone deficiency develop pituitary dwarfism with delayed growth of skull and facial appearance for their age. There is a marked effect on oral and facial structures due to the hypo and hyper pituitarism. Excessive action of the glandular epithelium of the anterior lobe leads to Hyperpituitarism and diminished functional activity of the anterior lobe causes Hypopituitarism.

Keywords

Abstract

Cells with one-off self-renewal and potency are called stem cells. Stem cells can be converted into suitable cells with sufficient biochemical signals.

Stem cells have strategies for the recovery and treatment of damaged tissues. In this article we are reviewing use of stem cells in maxillofacial surgery.
