NEW HEART LLC Is Desperately Seeking Oral Surgeons and Pedodontists to Alter the Future Course of Medicine by Participating in Stem Cell Therapies of the Future

    GURNEE, IL, July 15, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ -- New Heart, LLC has patents pending in the US for treatment of autism, brain trauma, cerebral palsy, hypoxic injury to the brain, multi-infarct dementia, and stroke using adult stem cells. New Heart, LLC also has patents pending in Europe for the treatment of acute and chronic diseases of the brain and pancreas (diabetes).

New Heart's latest interest is stem cells derived from tooth buds. The optimal time to remove tooth buds is ages 7-12. It is New Heart's hope that these stem cells will have a role in the treatment of neurological disorders. Most stem cell companies are about one type of stem cell. It is New Heart's vision to combine more than one type of stem cell for optimal success.
Dr Franco is currently providing an opportunity for patients to have prophylactic removal of wisdom teeth buds and subsequent processing, evaluation, and storage of stem cells.

New Heart LLC has recently joined with Dato-Tech LLC a Highland Park, Il company and its founder Dr Ira L Shapira a Gurnee Dentist to change the future of dentistry and medicine. Dr Franco and Dr Shapira have joined forces to harness the power of these pluripotent stem cells. These cells represent a second chance for parents who did not save their infants umbilical cord blood and they may prove superior to umbilical cord blood stem cells because of their orgin from the neural crest. Developing tooth buds have the ability to grow rapidly without the chemical attacks used to convert adult cells into stem cells.

Dr Franco and Dr Shapira are hoping to receive endorsements as "THE ETHICAL ALTERNATIVE" to embryonic stem cells from the Vatican and other Catholic groups as well as Southern Baptists and other religious groups who reject the use of Embryonic Stem Cells. While both Dr Franco and Dr Shapira believe in embyonic stem cell research they believe that the developing tooth bud may be more valuable over the long term.

Dr Shapira has method and device patents for collecting stem cells from the developing tooth bud. While he envisioned these cells being collected from prophylactically removing the developing third molars (wisdom teeth) Dr Franco realized that if stem cells were needed at an earlier age for essential life-changing medical treatment they could be obtained from other developing teeth at a much younger age.

Dr Franco believes that the explosive growth seen in stem cells from the tooth bud shows they are at least as viable as cord blood and probably superior. Currently there are only a few dentists in the U.S. doing collections.

Dr Shapira is hoping that the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry and the American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons will embrace prophylactic removal of the developing third molars and collection of possibly priceless stem cells for their patients.

Studies have shown that there are risks associated with retained wisdom teeth and that there is also a considerable risk of morbidity when removing third molars. Early prophylactic removal of third molars will reduce both of these risks.

A press release (October 19, 2010) from the AAOMS stated:

"Conventional Wisdom about Wisdom Teeth Confirmed Evidence Shows Keeping Wisdom Teeth May Be More Harmful than Previously Thought"

Having wisdom teeth removed during young adulthood not only improves dental and oral health, but may also reduce the chance of illness later in life, according to research from American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons (AAOMS), surgeons, and academics.

The evidence-based data confirmed what dentists and health professionals have been telling patients for years: having your wisdom teeth removed while you are young helps you stay healthy. Even when wisdom teeth are not diseased or symptomatic when they come into the oral cavity, their position and location in the mouth makes them difficult to keep clean and supports the accumulation and spread of harmful bacteria which can lead to more serious conditions later in life. Importantly, the local and systemic health implications of asymptomatic wisdom teeth are far broader than previously thought.

Additional key findings include: An absence of symptoms does not equal the absence of disease.

Eighty percent of young adult subjects who retained previously healthy wisdom teeth had developed problems within seven years. Extracting wisdom teeth in young adults produces less pain and shorter healing times than in older patients.

Monitoring retained wisdom teeth may be more expensive than extraction over a lifetime. Most patients (60 percent) with asymptomatic wisdom teeth prefer extraction to retention.

Retaining wisdom teeth can increase the risk for broader conditions including preterm birth and cardiovascular disease.

"Even if wisdom teeth aren't causing any immediate problems, it's likely that people will face complications down the road," said Dr. Louis K. Rafetto, chair of the AAOMS Task Force on Third Molar Data. "The fact is, extraction is much easier in young adults and research consistently shows that it is a simple way of improving both dental and overall health."

Despite extensive research published over the past ten years about periodontal disease and other complications resulting from retained wisdom teeth, some healthcare providers still do not recommend this service to their patients.

"It is critical that both patients and healthcare providers fully understand how harmful retaining these wisdom teeth can be," Dr. Rafetto noted. "Inaction can have serious long-term health consequences, including increased systemic inflammation which can lead to cardiovascular disease and preterm birth."

The evidence is in that retained third molars create a definite health risk. The question is why wait for the teeth to develop when they can be easily removed prior to calcification in a few minutes with virtually no pain or morbidity.

The possible promise of future medical miracles from saving these stem cells is an additional bonus.
