DENTAL PULP BANKING
WHAT IS DENTAL PULP BANKING?
Dental Pulp is the soft tissue inside a tooth. It is the central part of a tooth and is made up of a living tissue which contains powerful mesenchymal stem cells. These have the unique ability to differentiate into many types of cells including bone, heart, cartilage, adipose (fat) and nerve cells, and thus have immense potential to treat various degenerative disorders.
WHY SHOULD YOU BANK DENTAL STEM CELLS?
Lifestyle and degenerative disorders are on the rise world over. Conventional treatment methods can only help you manage and not cure them.
Dental Stem Cells originate from the neurogenic tissue and can be harvested with ease from a healthy tooth that has fallen out or has been extracted. Thus, they offer multiple chances of collection and the procedure can be performed by your regular dentist.
