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 ...

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 positional ...

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 ...

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 ...

For decades, dentists and scientists have dreamed of helping people regrow lost teeth. Now, thanks to remarkable advances in genetics, molecular biology, and regenerative medicine, that dream is ...

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

Scientists have grown a tooth in a lab, marking a significant step toward regenerative dental treatments. The study, carried out in London by King's College and Imperial College, used a specially ...

A rare but real condition, babies born with natal teeth may not need treatment. Here is what a recent study reveals about ...

You wait, you peek, you might even poke. You get through some fitful nights with your unusually fussy baby ... and ta-da! That first teeny-tiny baby tooth appears. But once those little pearly whites ...
