The Tooth Bank allows your patients to collect and store valuable stem cells for the future that they would not have been able to do otherwise. The science behind these viable dental stem cells is very exciting. These cells are known as Mesenchymal Stem Cells.

Science Behind Dental Stem Cells

MESENCHYMAL STEM CELLS (MSC)

An extremely rich source for mesenchymal stem cells is the developing tooth bud of the mandibular third molar (wisdom tooth) and baby teeth. While considered multipotent, they have proven to be pluripotent. The stem cells eventually form enamel, dentin, blood vessels, dental pulp, and nervous tissues, including a minimum of 29 different unique end organs. Because of extreme ease in collection in younger years of age before calcification, and minimal to no morbidity, they constitute a major source for personal banking, research, and multiple therapies. These stem cells have also shown capable of producing hepatocytes, a potential cure for diabetes in the future.

Mesenchymal stem cells have already proven to be a powerful and potent platform for developing treatments. As you are reading this, scientists are studying the role of these amazing cells in treating conditions such as type 1 diabetes, spinal cord injury, stroke, myocardial infarction (heart attack), corneal damage and neurological diseases like Parkinson's, to name just a few.

For the past 22 years doctors have been using stem cells to treat over 78 diseases and blood oriented disease. As of date there are over 2000 clinical trials that have been completed or are under way, demonstrating the use of stem cells to treat diseases, heal injuries, and grow replacement tissues like bone, cartilage, nerve, skin, muscles, and blood vessels.

We are able to keep collection kits in your office, as well as ship kits directly to your patients as they enroll for this process. There is no cost to the practice or physicians offering this service.

Regenerative medicine is the "process of replacing or regenerating human cells, tissues or organs to restore or establish normal function”. This field holds the promise of regenerating damaged tissues and organs in the body by replacing damaged tissue and/or by stimulating the body's own repair mechanisms to heal previously irreparable tissues or organs.

The Process is simple.
