摘要

A process for collecting stem cells from the pulp of deciduous teeth for freezing and storage relates to a process that enables stem cells to be collected from deciduous teeth that have been extracted, the procedure thereof including COLLECTING (Phase 1) stem cells from deciduous teeth that are extracted by registered dentists and pediatric dentists; SHIPPING (Phase 2) wherein the collected material is sent to a laboratory within 48 hours of the tooth being collected, said tooth having been inserted into the collection kit which is used for transporting same; PROCESSING (Phase 3), wherein as soon as the material arrives, the tooth is visually inspected to identify fillings or infectious conditions that could increase the risk of cell culture contamination or decrease the efficiency of stem cell isolation from the dental pulp, said stem cells then being expanded for FREEZING AND STORAGE (Phase 4).
