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 ...

Tooth root development relies on precise coordination of cellular signals, yet the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Researchers have uncovered how two proteins, Gli2 and Gli3, work together to ...

Tooth root development involves intricate spatiotemporal cellular dynamics and molecular regulation. The initiation of Hertwig’s epithelial root sheath (HERS) induces odontoblast differentiation and ...

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 ...

With age, teeth get increasingly brittle and susceptible to damage from tooth decay, which can eventually lead to tooth loss. Teeth have an intrinsic capability to regenerate, a process that is driven ...

If a trauma has been sustained, gaining a thorough history of the incident is essential. A systematic clinical examination should be completed. The clinical signs of a non-vital tooth which you should ...

Imaging aided in managing a man’s atypical root canal anatomy in which the distobuccal canal of his maxillary second molar was close to the palatal root canal with partially fused roots. The case ...

It affects a significant number of children and can leave their adult teeth permanently weakened and discoloured. Sorapop ...
