subject: Stem Cells Extraction from deciduous(baby) teeth [print this page] This type of stem cell can be extracted and deposited in stem cell banks. They can be used for:
infarctionmyocardial tissue replacement
treatment of neurodegenerative diseases
treatment of various dental diseases
bone regeneration after fractures and osteoporosis
tooth pulp regeneration and vitalization
Tooth pulp stem cells are frequently used in therapies, for transplantation only to the person who did the harvesting. In the future these stem cells will be used for other people in the same family too. Relatives until grade 4 will benefit.
What are the dental pulp STEM CELLS?
These are cell that can transform and replace other cell types in your body.
Baby teeth pulp contains:
mesenchymal cells
- These stem cells can be directly implanted in any organ and/or bone to help improving immunity or strength.
odontoblaste cells
- These stem cells forms odonto substance(the component of tooth)
The stem cell from dental pulp are non-hematopoietic cells. Using these stem cells with hematopoietic cells the hematopoietic trasnpants are transformed in best results transplants.
