Interview: 'There seems to be no limit to what tissue we can regenerate'
Research has proven that dental stem cells hold potential for the successful regeneration of dental and other body tissues. In May, experts from around the globe gathered in New York for the first time to discuss the latest concepts and scientific breakthroughs at the International Conference on Dental and Craniofacial Stem Cells. Dental Tribune Group Editor Daniel Zimmermann spoke with Columbia University professor and co-organiser Dr Jeremy Mao about the conference and when the first clinical applications might be available for dentists.

In regard to "dental waste," how can a person who has no teeth at all regenerate a whole tooth or parts of a tooth if there are no stem cells to build from? Or can dental stem cells be donated from another body? Please explain this to me.
