Stem Cells - Extract Stem Cells from deciduous(baby) teeth

In the future, these types of stem cell can be used for:

• infarcted myocardial tissue replacement
• treatment of neurodegenerative diseases
• bone regeneration after fractures and osteoporosis
• treatment of various dental diseases
• tooth pulp regeneration and vitalization

Although tooth pulp stem cells are frequently used in various therapies, today they can be used for transplantation only to the person who did the harvesting. In the future they will probably be used for other family members too.

What are the dental pulp STEM CELLS?

These are cell that can transform in other cell types used in your body. Baby teeth pulp contains:
odontoblaste cells: stem cells that forms odonto substance(the main component of tooth)
mesenchymal cells: stem cells that can be directly implanted in any organism and bone to help improving immunity or strength.

The stem cell from dental pulp are considered non-hematopoietic cells. Using them with hematopoietic cells reduces the hematopoietic trasnpants in best results transplants.

Why should you think about collecting STEM CELLS?

The biggest quantity of stem cells is contained in the umbilical cord blood. The chance of collection using the umbilical cord blood is ONE in a lifetime. Because the mother is systematically examined durring pregnancy the umbilical cord stem cells are healthy cells, no viral diseases can be present without knowing.
In 1988 the use of the stem cells began with the application on a diseases.
