Protecting your Future Health with Dental Stem Cells
Dental stem cell banks are now being set up, to help the fight against periodontal disease, cancer and heart disease, as well as being used to grow new teeth and bones. Dental stem cells can be taken from the pulp of milk teeth and wisdom teeth and between 20-40 percent of these cells are able […]
Researchers produce new dental film, which could bring decayed teeth back to life
A team of researchers in France has produced a dental film, which could bring decayed teeth back to life. The team, which is based at Inserm (Instituts thematiques- Institut national de la santé) has developed a nano-sized dental film, which can be used to regenerate decayed dental pulp. The film, which is thousands of times […]
Dental pulp in extracted teeth provides alternatives to controversial stem cell research
The controversial use of embryos for stem cell research in regenerative medicine has led researchers to try and find alternatives sources for stem cell therapy used in treatment of human diseases, such as bone marrow transplants to treat leukaemia. Stem cells are used to regenerate damaged tissue in the body and can develop into other […]
