{Abstract}: Primary human dental pulp cell (HDPC) cultures contain dental pulp stem cell (DPSC) populations. DPSCs are multipotent mesenchymal cells residing inside the dental pulp where they can contribute to the regenerative potential of this and other tissues throughout the body. These cells are promising tools for cell-based therapies, including regenerative endodontic procedures. HDPCs can be readily isolated and expanded from extracted teeth either by the dental tissue explant method or enzymatic digestion method. This chapter describes the explant method, whereby cells outgrow from dissected pulp tissue, to generate HDPC cultures. We also provide protocols for HDPC passaging, cryopreservation, and basic immunocytochemical characterization.
