The Future of Stem Cells | Types, Applications, Grow Human Teeth!

There are many different applications for stems cells in humans. Though this is a controversial topic, the benefits that stem cell therapy can provide are expansive. They also provide a new and exciting opportunity for regenerative dentistry. Many people ask “Can stem cells be used to #regrowhumanteeth ?“ as of today the answer is no. However, dental stem cells do exist and their applications in dentistry are currently under research. In this video Dr. Joseph Nemeth discusses #stemcells and their use in dentistry. He also talks about the different types of stem cells and their applications. Dentists can extract stem cells from baby teeth before they are fully formed for future use. As long as you are a match (same blood type) stem cells can be donated from one person to another. Stem Cell Research New research suggests certain medications can “trick” teeth into repairing themselves. We may be on the cusp of a new era in which entire teeth can be regrown. The 5 types of stem cells in the teeth are 1. Human Periodontal Ligament Stem Cells (PDLSCs) can differentiate into cementoblast-like cells. They also have a capacity to form connective tissue which is rich in collagen I fiber. 2. Dental Pulp Stem Cells DPSCs are stem cells isolated from the pulp tissue of extracted human third molars. They have the potential to cure various diseases by differentiating into neurons, osteoblasts, liver cells, and β cells of the islet of the pancreas. 3. Stem cells from apical papilla (SCAP) Capable of forming odontoblast-like cells, producing dentin in vivo, and are likely cell source of primary odontoblasts for the formation of root dentin. 4. Dental Follicle Stem Cells (DFSC) These cells, which are a potential cell source for periodontal regeneration. 5. Stem Cells from Human Exfoliated Deciduous Teeth (SHED) Mesenchymal cells present within exfoliated deciduous tooth pulp tissue that can differentiate into a broad range of different cell types.
