Stem cells can be derived from baby teeth and have potential medical applications. Researchers at NIH discovered that stem cells extracted from the pulp of baby teeth, called deciduous or milk teeth, can differentiate into various cell types like neural cells, bone cells, and fat cells. These stem cells may be useful for treating conditions like spinal cord injuries, Parkinson's, and other diseases. Extracting and storing stem cells from baby teeth is non-controversial compared to embryonic stem cells and could provide an easily accessible stem cell source for future medical needs.
Dental stem cells were discovered in 2000 and have since been studied extensively. They are found in dental pulp and other dental tissues. Dental stem cells can differentiate into several cell types including bone, connective tissue, muscle and neural cells. Research is exploring their potential to regenerate dental and craniofacial tissues through procedures like regenerative endodontics and periodontal regeneration. Dental stem cells may also help treat other conditions like heart disease, diabetes and neurological disorders. Further research is still needed but dental stem cells show promise for advancing regenerative dentistry and medicine.

Human Dental Pulp Stem Cells Cryopreservation
This study evaluated the effect of two cryopreservation methods on the viability and phenotype of human dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs). DPSCs were isolated from teeth extracted from patients, cryopreserved using two different methods, and then analyzed for viability and phenotype markers after 24 hours and 7 days. The results showed that both cryopreservation methods maintained high viability of DPSCs short-term, though one method resulted in slightly higher viability. Both methods also maintained the stem cell phenotype after cryopreservation. However, longer-term studies are still needed to fully evaluate the effects of cryopreservation methods on DPSCs.
Cultured skin substitutes prepared from cultured skin cells and biopolymers can reduce the need for donor skin grafts and have been shown to effectively treat excised burns, burn scars, and congenital skin lesions. Cultured skin substitutes generate skin phenotypes in the lab and restore tissue function and systemic homeostasis when implanted. Healed skin from cultured skin substitutes is smooth, soft and strong, though pigmentation may be irregular. Cultured skin substitutes close 67 times the area of donor skin compared to less than 4 times for split-thickness skin grafts, and result in similar qualitative outcomes.

Humans grow two sets of teeth during their lives - baby teeth and permanent teeth. The adult human mouth contains 32 permanent teeth divided into four types that serve different functions: incisors cut food, canines tear food, premolars crush food, and molars grind food. Teeth whitening is an effective way to lighten teeth without removing tooth surface, though the whitening effects typically last many years before teeth start to darken again over time.

The document summarizes the stages of development of primary and secondary dentition from prenatal development through eruption. It discusses the initiation, proliferation, histodifferentiation, morphodifferentiation, and apposition stages of tooth bud development. It also describes root formation, eruption sequence, Nolla's stages of tooth development, and considerations for abnormalities.
This document provides an overview of tooth development from formation through eruption. It discusses:
- The stages of tooth formation including initiation, proliferation, histodifferentiation, apposition and maturation.
- The phases of tooth eruption including preeruptive, eruptive and posteruptive phases.
- The development of occlusion from the preprimary dentition period through the primary, mixed and permanent dentition periods.
- The typical eruption timing of both primary and permanent teeth according to "dental age".
- Rules like the "six/four rule" and "rules of fours" that describe patterns in tooth emergence.
Dentistry has a long history dating back to 7000 BC when primitive bow drills were used to treat tooth problems. Pierre Fauchard in the 17th century is considered the father of modern dentistry for introducing concepts like dental fillings. The first dental college opened in 1840 which led to more standardized training and regulation of the profession. Teeth have important functions like mastication, appearance, speech, and jaw development. There are three stages of dentition - primary, mixed, and permanent - involving the shedding and replacement of teeth.
This document provides an overview of dental morphology and tooth anatomy. It discusses the parts of the tooth including the crown, root, cervical line, and defines anatomical vs clinical crowns and roots. It describes the primary and permanent dentitions, including their dental formulas. It also covers dental notation systems including the universal, Palmer, and FDI methods for identifying individual teeth.
This document discusses the development of dentition and occlusion from embryonic development through adulthood. It describes the stages of tooth development from the dental lamina to bud, cap, and bell stages. It also outlines the periods of occlusal development from pre-dental through deciduous, mixed, and permanent dentition. Key details include the eruption schedule and sequencing of primary teeth, physiological spacing in deciduous dentition, transition from deciduous to permanent molars, and factors that influence deep bite in early development.
This presentation is on forensic odontology, also known as forensic dentistry. It encompasses the role and scope of dentistry in identification of individuals in mass disasters.
Forensic odontology involves the application of dental expertise to legal matters. It plays an important role in mass disaster victim identification by comparing ante-mortem and post-mortem dental records. After the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, over 1800 victims remained unidentified until forensic dentists were able to use dental examinations to identify 61% of victims through comparing dental charts and x-rays.
This document summarizes the seminar given by Dr. Ashwin Deshpande on the development of dentition. It discusses the evolution of teeth from multiple teeth (polyphydont) to two sets of teeth (diphydont) to the current permanent and deciduous sets. It also describes the development of teeth from the primary epithelial band to the bud, cap, and bell stages. Finally, it outlines the four phases of dentition from birth to adulthood and the development of occlusion during these phases.
The document discusses primary and secondary teeth. It states that it takes 3 years to grow the first set of 20 primary teeth, also called baby teeth. These teeth slowly loosen and fall out between ages 5-14 as they are pushed out by the 28 permanent or secondary teeth. The crown of each tooth is covered in enamel, the hardest substance in the body, which protects the tooth.

5-hydroxytryptamine or 5-HT or Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that serves a range of roles in the human body. It is sometimes referred to as the happy chemical since it promotes overall well-being and happiness.
It is mostly found in the brain, intestines, and blood platelets.
5-HT is utilised to transport messages between nerve cells, is known to be involved in smooth muscle contraction, and adds to overall well-being and pleasure, among other benefits. 5-HT regulates the body's sleep-wake cycles and internal clock by acting as a precursor to melatonin.
It is hypothesised to regulate hunger, emotions, motor, cognitive, and autonomic processes.
Breast cancer: Post menopausal endocrine therapyDr. Sumit KUMAR
Breast cancer in postmenopausal women with hormone receptor-positive (HR+) status is a common and complex condition that necessitates a multifaceted approach to management. HR+ breast cancer means that the cancer cells grow in response to hormones such as estrogen and progesterone. This subtype is prevalent among postmenopausal women and typically exhibits a more indolent course compared to other forms of breast cancer, which allows for a variety of treatment options.
Diagnosis and Staging
The diagnosis of HR+ breast cancer begins with clinical evaluation, imaging, and biopsy. Imaging modalities such as mammography, ultrasound, and MRI help in assessing the extent of the disease. Histopathological examination and immunohistochemical staining of the biopsy sample confirm the diagnosis and hormone receptor status by identifying the presence of estrogen receptors (ER) and progesterone receptors (PR) on the tumor cells.
Staging involves determining the size of the tumor (T), the involvement of regional lymph nodes (N), and the presence of distant metastasis (M). The American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) staging system is commonly used. Accurate staging is critical as it guides treatment decisions.
Treatment Options
Endocrine Therapy
Endocrine therapy is the cornerstone of treatment for HR+ breast cancer in postmenopausal women. The primary goal is to reduce the levels of estrogen or block its effects on cancer cells. Commonly used agents include:
Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulators (SERMs): Tamoxifen is a SERM that binds to estrogen receptors, blocking estrogen from stimulating breast cancer cells. It is effective but may have side effects such as increased risk of endometrial cancer and thromboembolic events.
Aromatase Inhibitors (AIs): These drugs, including anastrozole, letrozole, and exemestane, lower estrogen levels by inhibiting the aromatase enzyme, which converts androgens to estrogen in peripheral tissues. AIs are generally preferred in postmenopausal women due to their efficacy and safety profile compared to tamoxifen.
Selective Estrogen Receptor Downregulators (SERDs): Fulvestrant is a SERD that degrades estrogen receptors and is used in cases where resistance to other endocrine therapies develops.
Combination Therapies
Combining endocrine therapy with other treatments enhances efficacy. Examples include:
Endocrine Therapy with CDK4/6 Inhibitors: Palbociclib, ribociclib, and abemaciclib are CDK4/6 inhibitors that, when combined with endocrine therapy, significantly improve progression-free survival in advanced HR+ breast cancer.
Endocrine Therapy with mTOR Inhibitors: Everolimus, an mTOR inhibitor, can be added to endocrine therapy for patients who have developed resistance to aromatase inhibitors.
Chemotherapy
Chemotherapy is generally reserved for patients with high-risk features, such as large tumor size, high-grade histology, or extensive lymph node involvement. Regimens often include anthracyclines and taxanes.

This guideline is directed principally toward new Molecular Entities that are
likely to have significant use in the elderly, either because the disease intended
to be treated is characteristically a disease of aging ( e.g., Alzheimer's disease) or
because the population to be treated is known to include substantial numbers of
geriatric patients (e.g., hypertension).
The biomechanics of running involves the study of the mechanical principles underlying running movements. It includes the analysis of the running gait cycle, which consists of the stance phase (foot contact to push-off) and the swing phase (foot lift-off to next contact). Key aspects include kinematics (joint angles and movements, stride length and frequency) and kinetics (forces involved in running, including ground reaction and muscle forces). Understanding these factors helps in improving running performance, optimizing technique, and preventing injuries.

5 Effective Homeopathic Medicines for Irregular Periods
Baby teeth revealed as source of stem cells
1. Baby teeth revealed as source of
stem cells
- Article from Divya Bhasker
20th January,2013 (Sunday)
2. Milk Teeth
Deciduous teeth, otherwise known as reborner
teeth, baby teeth, temporary teeth and primary teeth, are
the first set of teeth in the growth development of humans
and many other mammals.
In some Asian countries they are referred to as fall
teeth as they will eventually fall out ,while in almost all
European languages they are called milk teeth.
They develope during the embryonic stage of
development and erupt—that is, they become visible in
the mouth—during infancy. They are usually lost and
replaced by permanent teeth, but in the absence of
permanent replacements, they can remain functional for
many years.
3. MILK TEETH (deciduous) teeth start coming through
when babies are between 5 and 8 months old. They are
smaller than adults' teeth because children's jaws are
smaller. As the jaws grow, more teeth come through.
There are 20 deciduous teeth altogether, and they finish
coming through by about age 2 to 2½ years.
Why are the milk teeth called so?
Milk teeth are called so due to their white colour which
resembles the colour of milk. The milk teeth are whiter than
the permanent teeth which replace them. The refractive
index of milk teeth is similar to that of milk and hence they
are called so.
4. Deciduous teeth start to form during the embryo phase
of pregnancy. The development of deciduous teeth starts at the
sixth week of development as the dental lamina. This process
starts at the midline and then spreads back into the posterior
region. By the time the embryo is eight weeks old, there are ten
areas on the upper and lower arches that will eventually become
the deciduous dentition.
These teeth will continue to form until they erupt in the
mouth. In the deciduous dentition there are a total of twenty
teeth: five per quadrant and ten per arch. The eruption of these
teeth ("teething") begins at the age of six months and continues
until twenty-five to thirty-three months of age. Usually, the first
teeth seen in the mouth are the mandibular centrals and the last
are the maxillary second molars.
5. The deciduous dentition is made up of central incisors, lateral
incisors, canines, first molars, and secondary molars; there is one
in each quadrant, making a total of four of each tooth. All of these
are gradually replaced with a permanent counterpart except for
the first and second molars; they are replaced by premolars.
The replacement of deciduous teeth begins around age six. At
that time, the permanent teeth start to appear in the mouth,
resulting in mixed dentition. The erupting permanent teeth
causes root resorption, where the permanent teeth push on the
roots of the deciduous teeth, causing the roots to be dissolved
and become absorbed by the forming permanent teeth.
The process of shedding deciduous teeth and the replacement
by permanent teeth is called exfoliation. This may last from age
six to age twelve. By age twelve there usually are only permanent
teeth remaining.
6. Teething age of deciduous teeth:
Central incisors : 6–12 months
Lateral incisors : 9–16 months
First molars : 13–19 months
Canine teeth : 16–23 months
Second molars : 22–33 months
Deciduous teeth are considered essential in the development
of the oral cavity by dental researchers and dentists. The
permanent teeth replacements develop from the same tooth bud
as the deciduous teeth; this provides a guide for permanent teeth
eruption. Also the muscles of the jaw and the formation of the jaw
bones depend on the primary teeth in order to maintain the
proper space for permanent teeth. The roots of deciduous teeth
provide an opening for the permanent teeth to erupt. These teeth
are also needed for proper development of a child's speech
and chewing of food.

10. The Stem Cells are derived from the milky teeth & can
be preserved till 21 years in the “Dental Pulp Stem cell
Bank”.
These Stem cells are used in the treatment for the
future dangerous diseases such as liver diseases,kidney
diseases,Cancer,Spinal Cord injuries, Eye related
diseases,etc.
Stemed Biotech M.D. Shailesh Aadre Informed during
the launching ceremony of Dental Stem Cell Bank that in
mumbai,delhi,haidrabad,banglore,chennai & pune centers,
1200 persons has preserved their dental stem cells.
This whole process of taking the dental pulp from the
teeth costs around 1,25000 Rs.
It is easy to take stem cells from teeth than to take them
from bones by surgery.
11. Milk teeth fall of by 5 to 11 years.
It is also possible to take stem cells from the
wisdom teeth from adults. Then they have been sent
to Chennai Center.
The similarity of dental stem cells from Brother &
Sister is about 75% & from mother & father is about
50%. Therfore stem cells can also be helpful in the
treatment of relatives.
Stem cells regenerate the damaged tissues &
organs in any disease.It can also be helpful in the cut
organs.
Recent research is going on for the hair transplant,
teeth transplant by stem cell therapy.
12. Currently, researchers can isolate two types of stem cells.
Embryonic stem cells can develop into any cell in the body,
but their harvesting requires the destruction of embryos,
which pro-life groups oppose. Adult stem cells avoid this
problem, but have more limited abilities. Now it appears
that the stem cells from children's lost teeth could provide
an intermediate and easily accessible source.
In this brand new research, about to be released later
today by the NIH and the National Institute of Dental and
Craniofacial Research, it looks like there's another place to
find stem cells that can give rise to bone and neural cells —
inside the pulp of baby teeth when they are lost by a child
— and that this non-controversial source of stem cells could
be banked for future health needs.
13. Songtao Shi, a pediatric dentist at the US
National Institutes of Health in Bethesda,
Maryland said that "These stem cells seem to
grow faster and have more potential to
differentiate into other cell types than adult stem
cells,“Shi and his colleagues found that baby
teeth cells can differentiate into tooth-forming
cells called ondontoblasts, and also neural cells
and fat cells.
14. History of this Discovery
Dr. Songtao Shi had been doing research on the stem cells from bone
marrow.
So one day, Dr. Songtao 6-year-old daughter had a tooth that was about to
come out, and Dr. Songtao also happened to be trained as a pediatric dentist in
addition to doing stem cell research at NIH. His daughter knew this, and instead
of going to her mom to remove her first baby tooth, she went to her dentist dad
instead. And when her dad looked inside the central-front baby tooth that had
just come out, he saw live pulp and a light bulb went off in his head. He
thought, I wonder if I could get stem cells from here.
Previous work by Shi in 2000 had already shown that extracted adult wisdom
teeth contain stem cells in the pulp at the centre of the tooth. He took it to the
lab and found out that indeed there were stem cells there that could be
harvested. But to do the real research, he had to wait for her next baby tooth to
come out.
15. He took that tooth to the lab at 10:30 p.m., collected the tissue and
confirmed that there were indeed stem cells. And then, because he
needed more baby teeth, he waited around like an expectant parent
waiting for his daughter’s friends’ baby teeth to come out, and he did
research on those too.
To isolate the stem cells, Shi extracted the pulp and cultured the cells for
several days, then tested the survivors for markers of stem cell activity. About
12 to 20 cells from a typical incisor tooth turn out to be stem cells.
By culturing the cells in various growth factors, Shi could differentiate the
cells into tooth-forming cells, fat cells or neural cells. The differentiated cells
survived when implanted under the skin and in the brain of
immunocompromised mice.
Shi also found that the cells promote the growth of bone. He suspects the
stem cells may play a role in preparing the way for adult teeth.
16. For bone, he hypothesized that these stem cells from a baby
tooth are the ones that result in the bone that is put down
around the new permanent tooth as it comes in. These stem
cells give the order to "make bone," so they've got the
blueprint in them. He felt that they could be given cues to
induce bone formation.
As for neural tissue, the stem cells from teeth share a
common origin with neural tissue.
As their research progresses, Dr. Songtao and his team
members hope that stem cells from baby teeth may one day
restore nerve cells damaged by diseases like Parkinson’s —
one of the most common neurological disorders affecting the
elderly.
Researchers believe that with the proper cues, they may be
able to encourage the stem cells to form nerve-like tissues
which may restore cells that make dopamine — a brain
chemical that nerve cells need to function properly.
17. An oral biologist Bjorn Reino Olsen, at Harvard Medical
School said that the discovery of stem cells in baby teeth
could give a big boost to oral surgery. The cells, once
differentiated into odontoblasts, could secrete dentine.
This bone-like material could then replace the less
biocompatible metal posts that are currently used to
anchor implants to the jaw.
Stem cell research is the most promising path to
curing many severe diseases and conditions that today
can not be cured - Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's
disease, juvenile diabetes, spinal cord injury, MS, ALS,
and certain forms of cancer and heart disease, to name
just a few.
18. So what's the difference between what
umbilical cord blood stem cells can do and what
baby tooth stem cells can do?
Right now, researchers know that from umbilical
cord blood they can get blood stem cells. They
can't get the blood stem cells from baby teeth —
but they can get the bone and neural cells.
19. What would parents have to do to bank their
baby's teeth?
First, they will have to let the tooth fall out naturally,
when it's ready to come out. It's like picking fruit
when it’s just right. Too soon won't work, and if they
wait too long and the tooth is dangling there for
weeks, they can't get stem cells from it either. Front
teeth are the best for gathering stem cells.
The researchers say that it will be really simple. All a
parent will have to do is put the tooth in a vial in a
culture medium, milk will do, and keep it wrapped in
an ice pack at 40 degrees. Then send it to the center
using an overnight delivery service.
20. Limitations
But as much as parents want their children to have the best
of everything and to have every possible advantage in life,
there are still a couple of issues for parents to think about
before deciding to bank umbilical cord blood.
First, it isn't cheap. It costs between $1,500 and $2,000,
plus about $100 or more per year to store. So cost is a
prohibitive factor. Expectant mothers already have too many
decisions to make, and that's enough stress for anyone
without this as a bonus prize.
21. My Point of View
It's important to understand the difference between
the current medical use of cord blood or stem cells from
baby teeth and the promise that such cells hold in the
future.
If you bank the stem cells from your child's baby teeth
now, by the time, God forbid, your child or a sibling
might need them, the research will have progressed to a
point where those stem cells might be able to make a
huge difference in your child's life. And it's so simple to
do; it will likely be worth the extra effort.
One of the name of stem cel bank is BioEden Baby
Tooth Stem Cell Bank.
