The structure of our teeth goes beyond mere aesthetics; it plays a crucial role in determining overall health. From oral hygiene to systemic well-being, the condition of our teeth influences various ...

Using an atomic-scale imaging tool on a sea creature's tooth, two Northwestern University researchers have peeled away some of the mystery of organic and inorganic interfaces in tooth and bone ...

New studies shed light on ancient creatures' dental structure and wear -- and how these unique characteristics helped them live and adapt to their environments. A trio of published studies have ...

A study finds an early mammaliaform displaying tooth anatomy that gives insight into the development of structures such as complex molars and multiple roots. One evolutionary milestone in the ...

The Tyrannosaurus rex and its fellow theropod dinosaurs that rampage across the screen in movies like Jurassic World were successful predators partly due to a unique, deeply serrated tooth structure ...

Scientists used a combination of advanced microscopy and chemical detection techniques to uncover the structural makeup of human tooth enamel at unprecedented atomic resolution, revealing lattice ...

The title of this book reinforces the most important concept of preservation of tooth tissue, which sometimes tends to be overlooked as we concentrate on techniques for restoring teeth. Emphasis is ...

Mice deficient in the EDA protein lack normal tooth features. Restoring EDA in embryonic teeth at increasing doses has now been found to recover these dental features in a stepwise pattern that mimics ...
