Stem cell therapy has been used around the world to treat life threatening conditions, and the full promise of stem cell therapy has only been glimpsed so far. Discoveries in stem cell research presents an opportunity for scientific evidences that stem cells, whether derived from adult tissues or the earliest cellular forms hold great promise that go far beyond regenerative medicine. Pediatric stem cells or SHED are found in the exfoliated deciduous/ primary teeth of children. Recent studies show that SHED appear to have the ability to develop into more types of body tissue than other types of stem cells. This difference opens the door to more therapeutic applications .There is much research left to be conducted, but the existing research has clearly shown that primary teeth are a better source for stem cells. While the promise of the immense scope and magnitude that stem cell therapies will have upon the population will only be fully realized in the future, Dental Professionals have realized that the critical time to act is now. The available opportunities to bank their patients dental stem cells will have the greatest future impact if seized while patients are young and healthy.Downloads
