Abstract:
Stem cells discovery and their potential have led to the emergence of new forms of therapy with the development of bio-engineering cell and tissue methods underlying future medicine. The availability of stem cells and their preservation thus become an issue for everyone's health. Among the different sources of stem cells, those in the dental pulp have the advantage of being pluripotent, they can be cryopreserved and stored for long periods without losing their multiplication and differentiation capacities and finally they are easily accessible. The wisdom or natal teeth extracted for medical reasons are an opportunity for everyone to preserve stem cells for an autologous use. Biobanks authorized and specialized in the preparation and storage of pulp stem cells provide access to autologous regenerative medicine of tomorrow.
