Cilk1 deficiency disrupts normal tooth development by altering primary cilia function and weakening Hedgehog signaling. This ...

To this day, cavities and damage to enamel are repaired by dentists with the help of synthetic white filling materials. There is no natural alternative to this. But a new 3D model with human dental ...

Tooth enamel is the hardest substance in the human body, protecting the innermost layers of the tooth, including the dentin and pulp. Some genetic disorders, however, result in weakened enamel that ...

University scientists have identified a gene responsible for initiating the normal development of tooth roots in mammals. Researchers made this discovery by creating a mouse lacking the gene ...

In a recent article published in Nature Communications, researchers performed a genomic investigation of oral resistome development, i.e., of genes that confer antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Since ...

A novel study on the natural coordination of tooth development in time and space, led by Dr. Han-Sung Jung at the Yonsei University College of Dentistry, Korea, has discovered that "lingual" cells on ...

Over the past decades, there has been a remarkable surge in the development and utilization of dental biomaterials, ...

University at Buffalo scientists have identified a gene responsible for initiating the normal development of tooth roots in mammals. "This is the first mutation in mice that predominantly affects the ...

Enamel, the hardest and most mineral-rich substance in the human body, covers and protects our teeth. But in one of every 10 people – and in one third of children with celiac disease – this layer ...
