2 CEUs
 |
COURSE DESCRIPTION
The emerging field of "Personalized Medicine" is a popular topic in the media and generally refers to new medical technologies derived from a patient's own stem cells. Within the context of Adult Dental Stem Cells, recent findings and scientific research supports the therapeutic use of the extremely potent mesenchymal stem cells found within the healthy pulp of deciduous and permanent teeth, as well as other accessible tissues harvested from within the oral cavity. Their use can be applied to a multitude of regenerative and personalized medical therapies. As clinical studies continue to advance in the coming years, it is widely accepted that in order to avoid autoimmune rejection from donor tissues - while simultaneously maximizing on therapeutic efficacy - stem cells will be used to generate individualized "patient specific" treatments. Within the field of Dentistry, stem cells will be used for the following: the regeneration of dentin and/or dental pulp; the creation of biologically-viable scaffolds for the replacement of orofacial bone and cartilage, and; the partial or complete regeneration of defective salivary glands
