Enamel Defects Associated With Dentin Sialophosphoprotein Mutation in Mice
Frontiers in Physiology, 2021 Dentin sialophosphoprotein (DSPP) is an extracellular matrix protein that is highly expressed in odontoblasts, but only transiently expressed in presecretory ameloblasts during tooth development. We previously generated a knockin mouse model expressing a

Effects of Early-Life Adversity on Tooth Enamel Formation
Frontiers in Dental Medicine, 2022 In a systemic effort to survive environmental stress, organ systems fluctuate and adapt to overcome external pressures. The evolutionary drive back toward homeostasis makes it difficult to determine if an organism experienced a toxic exposure to stress ...

ADAM10: Possible functions in enamel development
Frontiers in Physiology, 2022 ADAM10 is A Disintegrin And Metalloproteinase (ADAM) family member that is membrane bound with its catalytic domain present on the cell surface. It is a sheddase that cleaves anchored cell surface proteins to shed them from the cell surface.

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 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 ...

Ion transport by ameloblasts during amelogenesis
, 2016 Hypomineralization of developing enamel is associated with changes in ameloblast modulation during the maturation stage. Modulation (or pH cycling) involves the cyclic transformation of ruffle-ended (RE) ameloblasts facing slightly acidic enamel into ...

Estrogen-deficiency Effect on the Composition of Dental Enamel: A Pilot Study
Scientific Dental Journal, 2021 Background: Tooth enamel mineralization is assumed to be a target of endogenous estrogen imbalances. Objective: To evaluate the effect of estrogen deficiency during amelogenesis on the mineral composition of dental enamel.

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 ...

Slc26a3/Dra and Slc26a6 in murine ameloblasts
, 2015 Formation of apatite crystals during enamel development generates protons. To sustain mineral accretion, maturation ameloblasts need to buffer these protons.

Towards unraveling the human tooth transcriptome: the dentome. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 The goal of the study was to characterize the transcriptome profiles of human ameloblasts and odontoblasts, evaluate molecular pathways and advance our knowledge of the human "dentome".
