Researchers have investigated the importance of the Notch pathway for the evolution of tooth morphology. Mutations in this signalling pathway can lead to defective structures in tooth enamel. Studies ...

SEATTLE — Scientists at the University of Washington are taking stem cell research to a new level. They're working to regenerate something people often take for granted: our teeth. A multidisciplinary ...

New research finds acids in sugar-free beverages could erode tooth enamel, as a recipe mixing flavored sparkling water with balsamic vinegar to create a so-called "healthier" alternative to soda takes ...

The danger lies in how quickly infection can reach the nerve of the tooth. In a normal tooth, enamel and dentine provide ...

BUFFALO, N.Y. — University at Buffalo oral biologist Hyuk-Jae (Edward) Kwon recently published a study examining how the gene KMT2D (also known as MLL4) affects the development of tooth enamel. The ...

Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) dosimetry in tooth enamel represents a robust physical method for retrospectively determining absorbed ionising radiation doses. This technique exploits the ...

Tooth decay has forced unpleasant dental visits on most of the U.S. population. In fact, over 90 percent of adults have had at least one cavity. Furthermore, longer lifespans and egregious dental ...

It’s a frustrating fact that our bodies can’t regenerate damaged tooth enamel, but scientists at the University of Washington (UW) have now grown mini teeth in the lab that secrete enamel-producing ...

Fluoride has been the standard ingredient in anti-cavity toothpaste — and it’s probably a part of your current oral care routine — but modern oral care brands are bringing attention to a ...
