Ameloblastic fibrodentinosarcoma and ameloblastic fibro-odontosarcoma: A systematic review [PDF]
The purpose of the present review was to integrate the available data published on ameloblastic fibrodentinosarcoma (AFDS) and ameloblastic fibro-odontosarcoma (AFOS) into a comprehensive analysis of their clinical/radiologic features. An electronic search was undertaken in July/2017.

Comparison of Two Mouse Ameloblast-like Cell Lines for Enamel-specific Gene Expression
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 ...

Intraspecific variation in M1 enamel development in modern humans: implications for human evolution [PDF]
The timing and sequence of enamel development, as well as enamel thickness, was documented for individual cusps (protoconid, hypoconid,metaconid, entoconid) in 15 unworn permanent lower first molars (M1s) from a sample of modern human juveniles.

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.

Amelogenesis Imperfecta caused by N-Terminal Enamelin Point Mutations in Mice and Men is driven by Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress [PDF]
‘Amelogenesis imperfecta’ (AI) describes a group of inherited diseases of dental enamel that have major clinical impact. Here, we identify the aetiology driving AI in mice carrying a p.S55I mutation in enamelin; one of the most commonly mutated proteins ...

Periodontitis treatment and microbiome in a patient with FAM20A mutation: Case study of 1.5 years
Abstract Background Enamel‐renal‐gingival syndrome (ERGS) is an autosomal recessive disorder caused by mutations in the FAMily with sequence similarity 20A (FAM20A) gene, and is characterized by amelogenesis imperfecta, delayed or failed tooth eruption, and periodontitis.

Expression of CD90 and P75NTR stem cell markers in ameloblastomas : a possible role in their biological behavior [PDF]
Multicystic and unicystic ameloblastomas are benign odontogenic tumors that present distinct biological behavior. The investigation of stem cells has become an important branch of tumor biology, with several studies addressing the possible role of these ...

Abstract Background Dentitions have diversified enormously during vertebrate evolution, involving reductions, modifications, or allocations to prey seizing and processing regions. A combination of ancient and novel features related to dental and oropharyngeal apparatuses is found in extant lineages of non‐teleost fishes, such as the gars.

Msx2 in ameloblast cell fate and activity
While many effectors have been identified in enamel matrix and cells via genetic studies, physiological networks underlying their expression levels and thus the natural spectrum of enamel thickness and degree of mineralization are now just emerging ...

Chemical composition of modern and fossil Hippopotamid teeth and implications for paleoenvironmental reconstructions and enamel formation: 1. major and minor element variation [Discussion paper] [PDF]
Bioapatite in mammalian teeth is readily preserved in continental sediments and represents a very important archive for reconstructions of environment and climate evolution.
