Abstract
Biobanks are not-for-profit services for the collection, processing,
storage and distribution of biological samples and data for research and
diagnostic purposes. The biobank is known and established, a capital asset for
the process of precision medicine, for supporting and improving research
clinically and biomedically. Vast evolution in the tract of biomedical research
manifolds the situation for requirement and lasting difficulty of acquirement,
preservation, and analysis of human samples. In dentistry, biological materials
and data obtained from questionnaires investigating oral conditions can be
stored and used for large-scale studies on oral and systemic diseases. To give
some examples: gene expression microarrays obtained on bio-banked specimens
were used in the identification of genetic alterations in oral cancer; efforts
to identify genetic mechanisms behind dental caries have been based on an
integrative analysis of transcriptome-wide associations and messenger RNA
expression. Cryo-preservation of dental pulp stem cells is a common practice in
tooth biobanks.
