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 ...

Researchers from the Chonbuk National University Korea School of Dentistry have published a new study in the Journal of Dental Research which sheds light on the role played by beta-catenin molecule in ...

The tooth root, together with the surrounding periodontium, maintains the tooth in the jaw. The root develops after the crown forms, a process called morphogenesis. While the molecular and cellular ...

BUFFALO, N.Y. -- University at Buffalo scientists have identified a gene responsible for initiating the normal development of tooth roots in mammals. Researchers made this discovery by creating a ...

The root is crucial for the physiological function of the tooth, and a healthy root allows an artificial crown to function as required clinically. Tooth crown development has been studied intensively ...

Tooth development is a dynamic process that involves the stages of the bud, the cap, and the bell, followed by root development and subsequent tooth formation. Tooth development is a dynamic process ...

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 ...

All mice studies were conducted under the proper guidelines for use of experimental animals as defined in our protocols and IACUC-UTHSCSA policies on use of experimental animals. The Bmp2 floxed mice ...

Beta-catenin is required in odontoblasts for tooth root formation, according to a new study in the Journal of Dental Research (January 23, 2012). While the molecular and cellular mechanisms of early ...
