Dr David Matzilevich MD PhD has indicated:
- “… autologous dental stem cells were expanded in vitro and for the purpose of oro-maxillofacial bone repair.”
- “These cells also facilitated the graft, eliminating immunologic complications such as rejection or excessive inflammation.”
- “This is compelling because it creates an environment which proves to be more favorable and successful for new mandibular bone to grow.”
- “This approach also appears superior to current methodologies utilizing cadaverous tissue or grafting tissue from another part of the body.”
- “I am very excited that dental stem cells have emerged as critical players in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine now that they have been proven to differentiate into multiple lineages.”

First Ever Clinical Study Shows Dental Stem Cells Regrow Bone | Business Wire
Leading stem cell company, StemSave, Inc. applauds Italian scientists for breakthrough research that will forever change oral surgery
NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–In a statement today, StemSave(TM),
Inc., the market leader in the field of stem cell recovery and
cryo-preservation lauds research
published in the November issue of the European Cells and Materials
Journal citing the reconstruction of the human mandible bone with
autologous dental pulp stem cells. StemSave commends Italian researchers
from the 2nd University of Naples for their groundbreaking
work.This marks the first time dental stem cell research has moved from the
laboratory to human clinical trials. The repair and regeneration of bone
is particularly significant for the oral maxillofacial field because the
repair of these bones, which aid in orofacial functions like speech,
chewing, swallowing and facial expressions are extremely intricate and
complex.According to Dr. David Matzilevich, M.D., Ph.D., Science Advisor to
StemSave, “These clinical studies are so significant because autologous
dental stem cells were expanded in vitro and for the purpose of
oro-maxillofacial bone repair. These cells also facilitated the graft,
eliminating immunologic complications such as rejection or excessive
inflammation. This is compelling because it creates an environment which
proves to be more favorable and successful for new mandibular bone to
grow. This approach also appears superior to current methodologies
utilizing cadaverous tissue or grafting tissue from another part of the
body. I am very excited that dental stem cells have emerged as critical
players in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine now that they
have been proven to differentiate into multiple lineages.”“This breakthrough clinical study, which uses the patient’s own stem
cells harvested from their teeth to repair bone, is the first of what we
believe will be an expanding number of applications to treat a broad
array of disease, trauma and injury. And because dental stem cells are
easy to recover as part of routine dental procedures, this represents
the first of many upcoming uses in the field of personal and
regenerative medicine and supports the wisdom of banking your own stem
cells from your teeth,” said Art Greco, CEO of StemSave, Inc.StemSave, Inc.
StemSave provides an affordable and non-invasive method for the recovery and cryo-preservation of the powerful Adult Stem Cells found in teeth by teaming up with dentists to harvest stem cells during routine dental procedures. For more information, visit www.StemSave.com.
