Impacted teeth pose significant risks to oral health, ranging from cyst formation to arch crowding. Early detection remains ...

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 ...

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 ...

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

Teeth and hard structures called dermal odontodes are evolutionarily related, arising from the same developmental system, a new study shows. Teeth and hard structures called dermal odontodes are ...

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 ...

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 ...

Bacteria are not the sole cause of caries; tooth resistance also plays an instrumental role. Researchers from the University of Zurich demonstrate that mutated genes lead to defects in the tooth ...
