This study delves into the impact of mesenchymal stem cells derived from bone marrow (BM-MSCs) and those sourced from dental pulp (DP-MSCs) on the recovery of motor function and morphological aspects of the rat's sciatic nerve after crush injuries. The findings highlight that the groups treated with BM-MSCs, DP-MSCs or a combination of both (BM + DP-MSCs) displayed enhanced sciatic functional index values when juxtaposed with the sham group. This points to bettered motor functionalities. A deeper morphological analysis showed that all the groups had retained perineurium structure and fascicular arrangement. Notably, the sham and BM-MSCs groups had very few inconsistencies. All groups showed standard vascular density. Remarkably, the combined treatment group (BM + DP-MSCs) presented diminished oedema and a lower count of inflammatory cells. Through immunohistochemical methods, the presence of S100 expression was noted in the groups that underwent treatment. In summation, the study suggests that both BM-MSCs and DP-MSCs, whether used singly or in combination, can significantly aid in motor function restoration and morphological enhancements. An interesting observation from our research and earlier studies is that stem cells from dental pulp, which are sourced with less discomfort from milk and wisdom teeth, show a heightened propensity to evolve into nerve cells. This is in contrast to the more uncomfortably acquired BM-MSCs.
