The procedural steps to generate teeth, controversies, and treatment outcomes will be reviewed. Learning Objectives: Attendees can expect to learn the following from this presentation: 1. The types of stem cells that are available to be used by dentists 2. How stem cells can be harvested to generate new teeth for patients
