Tooth decay is one of the most common dental problems in the world; it is particularly common in children and young adults.

Broke a Tooth? Grow Another: Regenerative Power of Dental Stem Cells and Tissues

Studies Show Regenerative Power of Dental Stem Cells and Tissues. Team found that they can reprogram dental stem cells into human embryonic-like cells called induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells, which may be an unlimited source of cells for tissue regeneration.

First Ever Clinical Study Shows Dental Stem Cells Regrow Bone

Leading stem cell company, StemSave, Inc. applauds Italian scientists for breakthrough research that will forever change oral surgery

Tooth Pulp Therapy (Treatment) in Children

Even if the child’s teeth are younger they can have the same defects as the adult’s ones. A specific category of problems connected with the pulp of the teeth will be discoursed here because it’s easier to take a decision when you have knowledge about what should follow.

Stem Cells From The Teeth: A New Discovery

Scientist has found out recently that dental pulp taken from the wisdom teeth can become a source of therapeutic stem cells. This finding was informed to the public by Japanese researchers. This newly discovered cell is called mesenchymal stem cells. It is capable of developing body tissues such as bone, cartilage and fat.

Adult Stem Cells from Teeth Could Heal Stroke Damaged Brains

Dental pulp stem cells are highly promising as precursors of replacement neurons (brain cells) because they are easily accessible, can be taken from the patient needing treatment, and they have similar properties to cranial neural crest cells that normally make brain cells and other cranial tissues.
