Could stem cells in the future solve dental problems?
3 doctors weighed in across 3 answers
Yes: There are already research going on this very topic including extracting stem cells from the pulp of teeth and incubating the cells to grow new tissue. I think the next 20-30 years will be interesting.

Yes in the Future: Bone regeneration is possible but large quanities of your blood would have to be removed, the stem cells harvested and the rest of the blood returned to you. This is being done for bone marrow transplantation but the process is complex and expensive at this time and no established procedures are in place as to the best way to apply the stem cells.
