Another Avenue for Stem Cells?Wednesday, November 28, 2007
Stem cell research has become an albatross in our society which reaches the highest levels of our country's leader. Very few questions the possible impact that stem cells can have for health care in the future and today, just the means by which these cells are obtained. Can dentistry provided a possible alternative source for stem cells? Check this out...
Bioeden markets themselves as a center that has the ability to store "baby teeth", which according to Biodens, have an abundance of stem cells.. In fact stem cell research is the most promising path to curing many severe diseases and disabling medical conditions that would otherwise remain untreatable.
Stem cell therapy has been used successfully over 700 times in the U.S. over the last 10 years and it has been used many more times in other countries around the world. It is believed that stem cell therapy may eventually offer remedies for such conditions as Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s diseases, juvenile diabetes, spinal cord injury, MS, ALS, and certain forms of cancer and heart disease. Cell therapy is also being used in experiments to graft new skin cells to treat serious burn victims, and to grow new corneas for the sight-impaired.
For stem cell therapy to work however, it is imperative that the source of the stem cells be compatible with the recipient. To avoid the rejection of transplanted tissues it is best to use the patient's own cells for these treatments. This is called an autologous transplant. General cell banking or transferring cells between close relatives does not have nearly as high an acceptance rate as the use of personal (autologous) cells.
BioEDEN only offers the storage of autologous cells.

Questions About TMJ?
Tuesday, November 27, 2007
Temporomandibular disorders (TMD)
The National Institutes of Health estimates that 5 to 10 percent of Americans have TMD, or problems affecting the jaw joint and/or muscles
Headaches
Approximately one in eight Americans suffer from headaches. Experts estimate that 75 percent of all headaches are caused by muscle tension, which may be related to the bite. Headaches also can be caused by clenching jaw muscles for long periods of time. Signs that may indicate a headache of dental origin include:
Pain behind the eyes
Sore jaw muscles or "tired" muscles upon awaking
Teeth grinding
Clicking or popping jaw joints
Head and/or scalp is painful to the touch
Earaches or ringing in the ears
Neck, shoulder or back pain
Dizziness
Are there any treatments available?
Your dentist has a variety of treatments that can help alleviate your orofacial pain. One device is called an orthotic, or splint, that is worn over the teeth until the bite can be stabilized. Permanent correction may require reshaping teeth, building crowns, orthodontics or a permanent appliance for the mouth. Your dentist might also recommend physical therapy, counseling, relaxation training or massage therapy.
