| Topic |
"Dentistry Now vs Dentistry Tomorrow: Is Regenerative Dental Medicine for Real?" |
| |
What is tissue engineering? What are stem cells? As dentists, why should we be concerned with tissue engineering and stem cells? How would tissue engineering and stem cells change dental practice? This lecture will discuss the latest in tissue engineering and stem cell research in relation to dental, oral and craniofacial applications. Tissue engineering will, over time, transform dental practice in a magnitude that is far greater than amalgam or dental implants. Metallic alloys, composites and even titanium implants are not permanent solutions. In contrast, tissue engineering will generate native tissue analogs that are compatible with the patient’s own. |
