Introduction: Recent exciting new discoveries place dentists at the forefront of helping their patients benefit from potentially life-saving therapies derived from a patient’s own stem cells obtained from deciduous teeth and permanent teeth as well from other accessible tissue harvested from the oral cavity. We now stand at the threshold of a potential revolution in medical treatment for diseases and disorders in which organs stop working properly.
At present, some such conditions, such as heart, kidney and liver disease, can be treated by transplantation of a replacement organ from another person. But demand for donor organs is far outstripping supply, and the failure rate of such surgery is quite high, mainly because of the problem of rejection. Many other disorders, such as stroke, diabetes and Alzheimer’s disease, cannot presently be treated by transplantation. The great hope is that suitable stem cells, produced in large quantities through cell culture methods and injected into failing tissues and organs, will produce fresh, replacement cells to take over from lost or damaged ones.
Stem cells will be used in dentistry for the regeneration of dentin and/or dental pulp, biologically viable scaffolds will be used for the replacement of teeth, periodontal ligaments orofacial bone and cartilage, and defective salivary glands will be partially or completely regenerated.

New York Dental Project
The New York Dental Project is an emerging dental networking organization in New York City. It was founded by a periodontist, oral surgeon, orthodontist / pediatric dentist, prosthodontist and endodontist who chose to collaborate with other dentists and dental team members to promote learning in a friendly, social and interdisciplinary environment. The group will provide members the opportunity to expand their knowledge and clinical skills as well as introduce them to new concepts, materials, techniques and devices. Additionally, it will foster friendships with other colleagues and helps to develop a circle of professionals for referral purposes.
