Are wisdom teeth truly useless?
Not always. Science tells a different story.

For many people, wisdom teeth are seen only as a problem that needs removal. However, modern research reveals that these teeth may hold remarkable biological value.

What have researchers discovered?

✔ Wisdom teeth contain mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) — powerful cells capable of differentiating into bone, cartilage, nerve tissue, and even heart muscle.
(Miura M. et al., PNAS, 2003. PMID:12920191)

✔ These stem cells are relatively easy to isolate and are being studied extensively in regenerative medicine, with potential applications ranging from spinal cord repair to cardiac tissue regeneration.

✔ Dental pulp stem cells are now considered one of the most promising and accessible stem cell sources for future therapies.
