[nothen2do]

Ozone

 

[mzalendo]

stem cells and regenerative dentistry. salivary diagnostics, tissue engineering and biofilm characterization with innovative therapy

If they could only figure out how to grow teeth...
Actually that would hurt implant dentistry wouldn't it?

 

[darius99]

to me personally, salivary diagnosis is the most interesting area of up and coming research, and this ties in with the connection between oral and overall health

 

[toothart]

Health Promotion
Systemic Health and Oral Health
Oral Cancer

One may be more important than the other, but they are mentioned frequently during our day.

My buddy down at San Antonio is studying the use of fetal foreskin as a graft material instead of alloderm. Who wants a piece of a cadaver in their mouths anyway?

He's been looking for donors if anyone is interested. PM him--PerioGod.

I got the idea after seeing an area of recession in OMFSCardsFan's mouth magically heal itself. I then thought to myself, "What is in CardsFan's mouth that isn't in a normal person's."

The obvious answer is sitting across from you...

I was wondering where you've been. Hadn't seen you post in a while...

My undergrad Thesis paper (required by all biology majors) is a journal review on stem cell research and regenerative dentistry, which actually is quite advanced already!
