The lecture is designed for dentists who are interested in dental
stem cell banking and who would like to know how teeth and oral
tissues can be generated using stem cells. Teeth and oral tissues
may be generated from stem cells sourced from tooth buds, baby
teeth, third molars, periodontal tissues, and induced pluripotent
cells. The procedural steps to generate teeth, controversies, and
treatment outcomes will be reviewed.
Learning Objectives: Attendees can expect to learn the
following from this presentation:
1. The types of stem cells that are available to be used by dentists
2. How stem cells can be harvested to generate new teeth for patients
3. The protocols for generating new teeth using stem cells
