This week on Aging Less: The Longevity Science Insights Podcast, host Marie Stella interviews dentist Samer Zaky, BDS, DMD, PhD, on the importance of natural tooth preservation, what contributes to their durability, and more. A research assistant professor at the Department of Oral and Craniofacial Sciences at the University of Pittsburgh, Samer Zaky, BDS, DMD, PhD’s research tackles the characterization of multipotent cells and conductive biomaterials for the regeneration of bones and teeth while focusing on dental pulp regeneration by extracellular matrices and inflammation modulation. As a dentist, he strongly advocates for disease prevention and patient education. In this episode, Samer Zaky, BDS, DMD, PhD, sheds light on the wonders and importance of preserving natural teeth and shares the most effective practices.
