New missense variants in RELT causing hypomineralised amelogenesis imperfecta

open access: yesClinical Genetics, 2020
Amelogenesis imperfecta (AI) is a heterogeneous group of genetic diseases characterised by dental enamel malformation. Pathogenic variants in at least 33 genes cause syndromic or non‐syndromic AI. Recently variants in RELT, encoding an orphan receptor in

Functional role of inorganic trace elements on enamel and dentin formation: A review

open access: yesJournal of Pharmacy and Bioallied Sciences, 2021
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.

Developmental Defects of Enamel in Primary Teeth and Association with Early Life Course Events: A Study of 6--36 Month old Children in Manyara, Tanzania. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Children with low birth weight show an increased prevalence of developmental defects of enamel in the primary dentition that subsequently may predispose to early childhood caries (ECC).Focusing 6--36 months old, the purpose of this study was to assess ...

Amelogenesis Imperfecta caused by N-Terminal Enamelin Point Mutations in Mice and Men is driven by Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
‘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 ...

Multiple Calcium Export Exchangers and Pumps Are a Prominent Feature of Enamel Organ Cells

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2017
Calcium export is a key function for the enamel organ during all stages of amelogenesis. Expression of a number of ATPase calcium transporting, plasma membrane genes (ATP2B1-4/PMCA1-4), solute carrier SLC8A genes (sodium/calcium exchanger or NCX1-3), and

Mutations in the pH-Sensing G-protein-Coupled Receptor GPR68 Cause Amelogenesis Imperfecta [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Amelogenesis is the process of dental enamel formation, leading to the deposition of the hardest tissue in the human body. This process requires the intricate regulation of ion transport and controlled changes to the developing enamel matrix pH.

Abnormalities in enamel structure and their association with systemic diseases and syndromes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Etiology of abnormalities in tooth structure has been subject of numerous studies but still has not been fully understood. Heredity is an established etiological factor for many types of structural anomalies of the teeth. Factors that cause changes in

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

open access: yesScientific 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.

Intravesicular Phosphatase PHOSPHO1 Function in Enamel Mineralization and Prism Formation

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2017
The transport of mineral ions from the enamel organ-associated blood vessels to the developing enamel crystals involves complex cargo packaging and carriage mechanisms across several cell layers, including the ameloblast layer and the stratum intermedium.

Deletion of ameloblastin exon 6 is associated with amelogenesis imperfecta [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
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.
