Teeth function not only because of the hard enamel on the surface, but also because they have roots that anchor them firmly ...

What the research is about Teeth function not only because of the hard enamel on the surface, but also because they ...

Tooth enamel, made from tightly packed hydroxyapatite nanorods, is one of the hardest and most durable materials produced biologically. Exactly how it is manufactured in the body is still a mystery.

Damaged teeth could one day be repaired with "living fillings" created from stem cells, a new study reports. In the lab, researchers induced stem cells to form small, multicellular mini-organs that ...

The U.S. National Institutes of Health National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR) has awarded a five-year, $2.3 million grant renewal to New York University (NYU) College of ...

Researchers at the University of Zurich Center for Dental Medicine recently studied the Notch pathway’s role in the evolution of tooth morphology, with their results being published in Cellular and ...

Researchers have investigated the importance of the Notch pathway for the evolution of tooth morphology. Mutations in this signalling pathway can lead to defective structures in tooth enamel. Studies ...

Tooth development is a dynamic process that involves the stages of the bud, the cap, and the bell, followed by root development and subsequent tooth formation. Tooth development is a dynamic process ...

Tooth decay has forced unpleasant dental visits on most of the U.S. population. In fact, over 90 percent of adults have had at least one cavity. Furthermore, longer lifespans and egregious dental ...

Enamel is the hardest organic tissue found in nature. It has a very complex structure, which is made up of minerals and enamel-specific proteins produced by tooth-exclusive cells called ameloblasts.

Mutations in a certain molecule result in severe damage in the structure and mineral composition of tooth enamel in mice, according to a study conducted at the UZH Center of Dental Medicine. The ...
