What are tooth stem cells?

Cells make up all the body’s tissue and organs such as heart, liver, brain, and skin.

Stem cells can divide and change into particular types of cells which under controlled conditions can grow into tissue, organs, and bones, and developed stem cells can work on repairing the immune system.  In fact stem cells can create replacement cells for those that are lost or damaged by injury or disease.

Within baby “milk” teeth there are four different types of cells: chondrocytes, osteoblasts, adipocytes, and most importantly mesenchymal stem cells.
