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 ...

Teeth function not only because of the hard enamel on the surface, but also because they have roots that anchor them firmly in the jawbone beneath the gums. Eating, speaking, and maintaining the shape ...

A system of opposing genetic forces determines why mammals develop a single row of teeth, while sharks sport several, according to a study published today in the journal Science. When completely ...

Tooth analysis is often performed to study mammalian evolution and the adaptations that occur over the evolutionary timeframe. These adaptations, which are linked to genetic modifications, have ...

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 demonstrated that declining Hedgehog signaling from Cilk1 loss produces stepwise changes in tooth formation ...

A large comparative study of primate teeth shows that grooves once linked to ancient human tooth-picking can form naturally, while some common modern dental problems appear uniquely human.

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