Evaluation of the esthetic properties of developmental defects of enamel: a spectrophotometric clinical study [PDF]
Objectives. Detailed clinical quantification of optical properties of developmental defect of enamel is possible with spectropho- tometric evaluation. Developmental defects of enamel (DDE) are daily encountered in clinical practice. DDE are an alteration

The Na+/Ca2+, K+ exchanger NCKX4 is required for efficient cone-mediated vision [PDF]
Calcium (Ca2+) plays an important role in the function and health of neurons. In vertebrate cone photoreceptors, Ca2+ controls photoresponse sensitivity, kinetics, and light adaptation.

Deletion of Slc26a1 and Slc26a7 Delays Enamel Mineralization in Mice
Amelogenesis features two major developmental stages—secretory and maturation. During maturation stage, hydroxyapatite deposition and matrix turnover require delicate pH regulatory mechanisms mediated by multiple ion transporters.

Deletion of ameloblastin exon 6 is associated with amelogenesis imperfecta [PDF]
Amelogenesis imperfecta (AI) describes a heterogeneous group of inherited dental enamel defects reflecting failure of normal amelogenesis. Ameloblastin (AMBN) is the second most abundant enamel matrix protein expressed during amelogenesis.

Estrogen-deficiency Effect on the Composition of Dental Enamel: A Pilot Study
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.

Functional role of inorganic trace elements on enamel and dentin formation: A review
Calcium and phosphate are the major components of hydroxyapatite crystals that form the inorganic portion of the teeth. Apart from these, certain elements are present in little amounts in enamel and dentin of the human teeth.

Pathogenesis of dental fluorosis: biochemical and cellular mechanisms
The mechanisms involved in the development of dental fluorosis are still unknown. The development of in vivo and in vitro models using biologically relevant concentrations of fluoride for the emergence of fluorosis has allowed suggesting hypotheses that ...
