Stem cells are the body’s natural healing process. Whenever there is a trauma in the body stem cells are released and travel to the affected site. These “Master” stem cells then replicate into the damaged cells repairing the damage. There are two types of stem cells, Hemopoietic and Mesenchymal. Hemopoietic stem cells typically heal blood disorders such as leukemia and Mesenchymal stem cells heal tissue such as bone, blood vessels etc. Dental pulp provides a rich source of Mesenchymal stem cells and these stem cells have shown to be more versatile, easily replicated, and have increased cryopreservation ability compared to other MSCs. The younger the teeth the more vibrant the mesenchymal stem cells are when used to regenerate tissue and damaged cells. This exciting and ground-breaking science could potentially be lifesaving in the future which is why parents are now thinking about banking their child’s dental pulp in a non-invasive procedure. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are being used in experiments and clinical trials to potentially cure diseases such as; · Type 1 Diabetes Spinal Cord injury · Muscular Dystrophy · Parkinson’s · Alzheimer’s · Myocardial Infarction (heart attack) · Stroke and other cardiovascular conditions · Bone loss and connective tissue repair · And many more debilitating diseases In regenerative dentistry, dental stem cells have already been successfully used to treat periodontal disease and regrow jawbone in human studies. A recent study in the Journal of Dental Research indicated that the stem cells found in teeth can be used to grow new islet cells, which produce insulin, to treat Type 1 Diabetes.
