The Meaning of Mangabey Molars (And Premolars)

open access: yesEvolutionary Anthropology: Issues, News, and Reviews, Volume 35, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The postcanine teeth of mangabeys (members of Cercocebus and Lophocebus) have figured prominently in discussions about the relationship between hard‐object feeding and dental form. Grey‐cheeked mangabeys (Lophocebus albigena) and sooty mangabeys (Cercocebus atys) both have thickly enameled posterior teeth.

Ameloblastic fibrosarcoma – A rarity?

open access: yesJPRAS Open, 2019
Ameloblastic fibrosarcoma (AFS) is a rare malignant odontogenic tumour classified by the WHO (1992) as an odontogenic sarcoma and defined as "a neoplasm with a similar structure to ameloblastic fibroma (AF) but in which the ectomesenchymal component shows the features of a sarcoma." The first report of AFS was published by Heath in 1887.

Evaluation of the performance of ChatGPT‐4 and ChatGPT‐4o as a learning tool in endodontics

open access: yesInternational Endodontic Journal, Volume 59, Issue 6, Page 1057-1069, June 2026.
Abstract Aims The aim of this study was to evaluate the accuracy and consistency of responses given by two different versions of Chat Generative Pre‐trained Transformer (ChatGPT), ChatGPT‐4, and ChatGPT‐4o, to multiple‐choice questions prepared from undergraduate endodontic education topics at different times of the day and on different days ...

New insights into the functions of enamel matrices in calcified tissues

open access: yesJapanese Dental Science Review, 2014
Ameloblasts secrete enamel matrix proteins, including amelogenin, ameloblastin, enamelin, amelotin, and Apin/odontogenic ameloblast-associated protein (Apin/ODAM). Amelogenin is the major protein component of the enamel matrix.

Plakophilin-1, a Novel Wnt Signaling Regulator, Is Critical for Tooth Development and Ameloblast Differentiation.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2016
Tooth morphogenesis is initiated by reciprocal interactions between the ectoderm and neural crest-derived mesenchyme, and the Wnt signaling pathway is involved in this process.

Yap Methylation Modulates Ameloblast Mineralization Via Mitophagy

open access: yesInternational Dental Journal
Aim or purpose: The regulatory role of Yap methylation in ameloblast-mediated enamel mineralization remains poorly understood, particularly its connection to mitochondrial autophagy.

Subcultured Odontogenic Epithelial Cells in Combination with Dental Mesenchymal Cells Produce Enamel–Dentin-Like Complex Structures

open access: yesCell Transplantation, 2007
We showed in a previous study that odontogenic epithelial cells can be selectively cultured from the enamel organ in serum-free medium and expanded using feeder layers of 3T3-J2 cells.

Adenovirus gene transfer to amelogenesis imperfecta ameloblast-like cells.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2011
To explore gene therapy strategies for amelogenesis imperfecta (AI), a human ameloblast-like cell population was established from third molars of an AI-affected patient.

The Role of Na:K:2Cl Cotransporter 1 (NKCC1/SLC12A2) in Dental Epithelium during Enamel Formation in Mice

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2017
Na+:K+:2Cl− cotransporters (NKCCs) belong to the SLC12A family of cation-coupled Cl− transporters. We investigated whether enamel-producing mouse ameloblasts express NKCCs.

Phosphorylated and Non-phosphorylated Leucine Rich Amelogenin Peptide Differentially Affect Ameloblast Mineralization

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2018
The Leucine Rich Amelogenin Peptide (LRAP) is a product of alternative splicing of the amelogenin gene. As full length amelogenin, LRAP has been shown, in precipitation experiments, to regulate hydroxyapatite (HAP) crystal formation depending on its ...
