Stem Cell Research Shows Promise in Regenerating Human Teeth

Though scientists remain in the early stages of pulp regeneration, experiments performed on animals have shown promising results that may ultimately eliminate the need for painful root canal procedures.  By using tooth stem cells to regenerate critical living tissue called pulp, scientists hope to develop treatments that will regrow teeth that were infected by bacteria or infections.  These developments arrive during a crucial time in which dental disease is affecting over half of the U.S. population.  For the full article click here: http://rohnertparkdentistry.com/regenerative-medicine-may-eliminate-painful-root-canal-procedures/
