The study of dental microwear allows the analysis of the microscopic marks that foods leave on the surface of tooth enamel ...

Non-syndromic tooth agenesis (TA) can affect both the size and shape of teeth and may interact with sex. This study aimed to advance our understanding of tooth developmental mechanisms by constructing ...

Traditional orthodontic treatment relies on subjective estimations of orthodontists and iterative communication with technicians to achieve desired tooth alignments. This process is time-consuming, ...

Researchers report that they have identified genetic variants that determine the shape of human teeth, including a gene inherited from Neanderthals. The scientists published their paper “PITX2 ...

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 ...

Two distinct stem cell lineages that drive tooth root and alveolar bone formation have been identified by researchers from Science Tokyo. Using genetically modified mice and lineage-tracing techniques ...

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. Processes such as the bud-to-cap ...

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 ...
