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 ...

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 ...

The interaction between Hertwig's epithelial root sheath (HERS) and surrounding mesenchymal cells is crucial for root dentin formation. HERS influences tooth root development and odontoblast ...

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 ...

Scientists in the U.K. have developed a new material that may allow them to grow teeth in the lab, which could provide an alternative to fillings and dental implants someday. When you purchase through ...

Enamel hypoplasia is a developmental defect resulting in thin, deficient, or missing enamel, increasing the risk for dental caries. The condition can stem from hereditary factors, like amelogenesis ...
