Dental Stem Cells
Discover A New Level of Healing
Dental stem cells are extracted from the teeth to help support oral structures and procedures. Currently, teeth are the most noninvasive source of stem cells because they derive from the dental pulp. This pulp is the soft tissue living in the tooth itself. Its function is to produce dentin which supports the outside layer of enamel. This pulp contains a type of adult stem cell called a mesenchymal stem cell (MSC).
Dental stem cells are showing high potential and promise when it comes to repairing teeth.
Potential for Dental Stem Cell Treatment
Dental stem cell treatment is still in the research phase, but the preliminary results are incredibly promising. Dental pulp stem cells are a source of cells that have the ability to repair damaged cells. Working with stem cells has the potential to regenerate dental pulp, gum tissue, and even entire teeth for use in crowns and implants. This has enormous potential when it comes to dental repair and healing; you already know you only have one set of teeth, so if a tooth becomes damaged or diseased you need to resort to alternative methods. While these methods work well for the most part, some patients have complications or reactions that require even more in-depth procedures. Using dental stem cells to regrow gums, pulp, or teeth can help benefit long-term dental health.
