Stress Response Pathways in Ameloblasts: Implications for Amelogenesis and Dental Fluorosis
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.

Peripheral calcifying odontogenic cyst in maxillary anterior gingiva: A case report
Abstract Background Calcifying odontogenic cysts (Gorlin cysts) most commonly present centrally and have only rarely been reported in peripheral locations. The purpose of this report is to describe a new case of peripheral calcifying odontogenic cyst (PCOC) occurring in the anterior maxillary gingiva and to review the management and differential ...

Ameloblastic fibroma, is a mixed odontogenic tumor, which commonly affects young children under the age of 20 years, with the mandibular premolar-molar region being the most common site of manifestation. This is a case report of a 25-year-old female with a swelling in the right posterior mandibular region since 4 months, which was subsequently ...

Ameloblastic carcinoma (AC) is a rare aggressive malignant epithelial odontogenic tumor of the maxillofacial skeleton with a distinct predilection in the mandible. It may appear de novo or originate from a pre-existing ameloblastoma or odontogenic cyst. It exhibits cytological features of ameloblastoma and carcinoma.

Smad1/5 signal transduction regulates the ameloblastic differentiation of induced pluripotent stem cells [PDF]
Induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells could be induced into ameloblast-like cells by ameloblasts serum-free conditioned medium (ASF-CM), and bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) might be essential during the regulation of this process.

Molecular mechanism for transcriptional regulation of the parathyroid hormone gene by Epiprofin
The secretion of parathyroid hormone (PTH) from the chief cells in the parathyroid glands is regulated by the concentration of extracellular calcium. Epiprofin (Epfn) expression is induced by NFATc2 in response to elevated serum calcium, and Epfn negatively regulates PTH production.

Ameloblastoma of jaws are common and locally destructive tumors originating from odontogenic apparatus. They constitute approximately 1% of all jaw tumors with 80% occurring in the mandible. Ameloblastoma exhibiting a frank malignancy is a rare entity and occurs in less than 1% of all ameloblastomas. Among the two jaws, ameloblastic carcinoma involving

Over 90% of the U.S. adult population suffers from tooth structure loss due to caries. Most of the mineralized tooth structure is composed of dentin, a material produced and mineralized by ectomesenchyme derived cells known as odontoblasts.

Ameloblasts in Health and Disease
Abstract Ameloblasts are highly sensitive enamel-forming cells. They are derived from ectoderm and undergo a series of transformative changes in their life cycle. The functional efficiency of ameloblasts depends on various factors such as intracellular and extracellular environment, epithelial–mesenchymal interactions, and ...
