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

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

A hypothetical model illustrating how reduced Hedgehog signaling alters interactions between the rudimentary tooth bud (R2) ...

Organoids have now been created from stem cells to secrete the proteins that form dental enamel, the substance that protects teeth from damage and decay. A multi-disciplinary team of scientists led ...

New human clinical trial proves arginine, an amino acid, can modify plaque formation on teeth, thereby protecting against ...

Tooth implantation using synthetic material, auto-transplantation, reshaping are some methods that are generally used for dental problems; however, the limitations associated with these techniques ...

Sustained hypoxia affects orthodontic tooth movement (OTM) by altering osteoclast and osteoblast differentiation, report researchers from the Institute of Science Tokyo, Japan. Hypoxic conditions ...

Teeth constitute a permanent and faithful biological archive of the entirety of the individual's life, from tooth formation to death, a team of researchers has found. Its work provides new evidence of ...

Researchers have engineered a biomaterial scaffold that allows cells to form tooth-like structures, a significant step towards regrowing human teeth. This breakthrough could revolutionize dental care ...

Baby teeth, officially called primary teeth, typically begin their journey into the world when infants reach around six months of age. That first tiny tooth breaking through the gums marks an exciting ...
