Dental Stem Cells in Research and Practice
State Becomes First to Sign Mid-level Oral Health Care Providers into Law

Over the past decade, dental stem cells have been receiving attention from researchers due to their potential for regenerating tissue both in the orofacial region and in other parts of the body. Jean Majeski looks at dental stem cells’ status in research, their potential applications in practice and the role of the dental hygienist in educating patients to make decisions about collecting and storing them. On the cover: One of many well-received continuing education courses features at the 2009 Center for Lifelong Learning.
