Scientists are conducting studies and making progress in the field of stem cell dental implant research. This includes when it comes to dental stem cells for tooth replacement, repair, and regeneration for human patient use. <\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, according to Volponi et al. there are still many major issues that will take time to resolve \u2014 more specifically, the identification of certain cell populations \u2014 such as epithelial cells, which line organs, vessels, and cavities to protect the body, and mesenchymal cells, which differentiate into smooth muscle, vascular, and connective tissue \u2014 that will need to be expanded in culture to provide the large quantity needed to make a tooth. <\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Scientists will also need to address whether the cells will be autologous (from the patient&#8217;s own body), which is more expensive but safer, or allogeneic (from a donor) which is cheaper but runs the risk of being rejected by the host body. <\/p>    <p class=\"wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio wp-block-paragraph\">     <div class=\"dentist-tip\">          <div class=\"dentist-tip__title\">             Ask an Expert: Will we be able to regrow teeth from stem cells?        <\/div>          <div class=\"dentist-tip__content\">             <\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That is a great question and one that we debate a lot in the dental research community. On the one hand, there has been enormous progress in organ bioengineering over the past few years, so there is reason for optimism about growing an entire tooth. <\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, teeth take a long time to mature, so there is an alternative school of thought that says the following: we are very good at making dental materials (to fix the hard part on the outside of the tooth), so rather than growing an entire tooth, let\u2019s focus on regrowing the living part \u2013 the cells on the inside \u2013 and then put an artificial cap on the outside. <\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I think the jury is still out as to which approach will work better in the long run.<\/p>    <p class=\"wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Dr. Ophir Klein, MD, PhD<\/strong>, <strong>Stemodontics<\/strong><\/p>    <p class=\"wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio wp-block-paragraph\">        <\/div>      <\/div>      <\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Additionally, human tooth development is very slow \u2014 creating a human tooth could take months, and even years, so much more research will be needed to figure out how to accelerate the growth of the tooth. <\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Implants are still the best way to replace teeth \u2014 or they would be if they weren&#8217;t too expensive for many people who need new teeth. And that&#8217;s no small number by the way \u2014 1\/4 of adults over 65 have 8 teeth or fewer, which is considered to be severe tooth loss, impacting the ability to maintain a healthy and nutrient-rich diet. <\/p>    <h2 id=\"what-are-dental-stem-cells\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">What are dental stem cells?<\/h2>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Stem cells are responsible for creating all of the cells in your body that have specialized functions. When you are a baby, you don&#8217;t have all of the different types of cells that your body needs. So your stem cells help you create the organs and tissues that keep your body going. <\/p>   <div class=\"wp-block-image\"> <figure class=\"alignright size-medium\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"166\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2022\/10\/dental-stem-cells-1-300x166.jpg\" alt=\"regrow teeth naturally\" class=\"wp-image-64680\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2022\/10\/dental-stem-cells-1-300x166.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2022\/10\/dental-stem-cells-1-1024x567.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2022\/10\/dental-stem-cells-1-768x425.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2022\/10\/dental-stem-cells-1-1536x850.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2022\/10\/dental-stem-cells-1.jpg 2002w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Stem cells for dental implants is being researched<\/figcaption><\/figure> <\/div>   <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Stem cells are found in most of the body&#8217;s tissues, including in your teeth \u2014&nbsp;which actually harbor a surprising amount. <\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The specialized cells that are formed by stem cells are called daughter cells. These daughter cells have two options \u2014 they can become more stem cells, or they can differentiate \u2014 or become specialized cells, like blood cells, bone cells, heart muscle cells, and brain cells. <\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Stem cells are the only cells that can form other cells and create specialized cells.<\/p>    <p class=\"wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio wp-block-paragraph\">     <div class=\"dentist-tip\">          <div class=\"dentist-tip__title\">             Ask an Expert: Can stem cells be used to repair teeth?        <\/div>          <div class=\"dentist-tip__content\">             <\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes \u2013 there are exciting preliminary reports of the use of DPSCs in repair of injured teeth, including revitalizing the pulp, which is particularly important because death of the pulp requires painful procedures like root canals. If we can routinely revitalize the pulp using stem cells, that would be an enormous benefit to patients.<\/p>    <p class=\"wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Dr. Ophir Klein, MD, PhD<\/strong>, <strong>Stemodontics<\/strong><\/p>    <p class=\"wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio wp-block-paragraph\">        <\/div>      <\/div>      <\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dental stem cells, more commonly referred to as dental pulp stem cells or DPSCs are mesenchymal stem cells.
