Deciphering the functions of Stromal Interaction Molecule-1 in amelogenesis using AmelX-iCre mice
Frontiers in Physiology, 2023 Introduction: The intracellular Ca2+ sensor stromal interaction molecule 1 (STIM1) is thought to play a critical role in enamel development, as its mutations cause Amelogenesis Imperfecta (AI).

Fabrication of functional ameloblasts from hiPSCs for dental application
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2023 Tooth formation relies on two types of dental cell populations, namely, the dental epithelium and dental mesenchyme, and the interactions between these cell populations are important during tooth development. Although human-induced pluripotent stem cells

Comparison of Two Mouse Ameloblast-like Cell Lines for Enamel-specific Gene Expression
Frontiers in Physiology, 2014 Ameloblasts are ectoderm-derived cells that produce an extracellular enamel matrix that mineralizes to form enamel. The development and use of immortalized cell lines, with a stable phenotype, is an important contribution to biological studies as it ...

Stress Response Pathways in Ameloblasts: Implications for Amelogenesis and Dental Fluorosis
Cells, 2012 Human enamel development of the permanent teeth takes place during childhood and stresses encountered during this period can have lasting effects on the appearance and structural integrity of the enamel.

The resistance of succedaneous teeth to periapical infection: A series of seven cases
Contemporary Clinical Dentistry, 2021 Pediatric dental procedures are carried out largely to prevent the adverse effects of primary teeth infection on succedaneous teeth (ST). The existing literature on how and when periapical infection (PI) from primary teeth affect ST is conflicted.

Ameloblastic fibro-odontoma [PDF]
BMJ Case Reports, 2015 Ameloblastic fibro-odontoma is a slow growing, benign, expansile epithelial odontogenic tumour with odontogenic mesenchyme, accounting for 0.3–1.7% of jaw tumours, signifying its rarity. The WHO defines it as “a neoplasm composed of proliferating odontogenic epithelium in a cellular ectomesenchymal tissue with varying degrees of inductive changes and ...

Energy metabolic shift contributes to the phenotype modulation of maturation stage ameloblasts
Frontiers in Physiology, 2022 Maturation stage ameloblasts (M-ABs) are responsible for terminal enamel mineralization in teeth and undergo characteristic cyclic changes in both morphology and function between ruffle-ended ameloblasts (RA) and smooth-ended ameloblasts (SA).

Modeling ameloblast-matrix interactions using 3D cell culture
Frontiers in Physiology, 2022 The distinct morphology adopted by ameloblasts during amelogenesis is highly stage specific and involved intimately with the development of a hierarchical enamel microstructure.

Ameloblastic fibroma, ameloblastic fibro-odontoma, and odontoma
Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Clinics of North America, 2004 Ameloblastic fibroma (AF) is a relatively rare true tigators believe that AF and AFO are variations of the mixed tumor in which epithelial and the ectomesenchymal elements are neoplastic. It is characterized by the simultaneous neoplastic proliferation of the mesenchymal and epithelial components without formation of dental hard tissues, namely dentin ...
