The role of enamelysin (mmp-20) in tooth development: systematic review
Revista Facultad de Odontología Universidad de Antioquia, 2015 Introduction: ameloblasts are cells responsible for the production and mineralization of the organic matrix of enamel through several stages: pre-secretory, secretory, transition, and maturation.

Remineralisation Potential of Self-assembling Peptide (P11-4) Compared to Other Remineralising Agents: A Narrative Review [PDF]
Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic ResearchDental caries is a chronic infectious disease that affects the hard tissues of the teeth, primarily the enamel. Remineralisation involves depositing minerals back into demineralised enamel, repairing the damage, and preventing the formation of caries ...

Mechanistic Insights into Bioengineered Antibiofilm Enamel Pellicles
Journal of dentistry research, 2023 Dental caries remains the most widespread chronic disease worldwide. Basically, caries originates within biofilms accumulated on dental enamel. Despite the nonrenewable nature of the enamel tissue, targeted preventive strategies are still very limited ...

Molar incisor hypomineralisation: current knowledge and practice
International Dental Journal, EarlyView., 2020 Background Molar incisor hypomineralisation (MIH) is a common developmental dental condition that presents in childhood. Areas of poorly formed enamel affect one or more first permanent molars and can cause opacities on the anterior teeth. MIH presents a variety of challenges for the dental team as well as functional and social impacts for affected ...

Itm2a expression in the developing mouse first lower molar, and the subcellular localization of Itm2a in mouse dental epithelial cells. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Itm2a is a type II transmembrane protein with a BRICHOS domain. We investigated the temporospatial mRNA and protein expression patterns of Itm2a in the developing lower first molar, and examined the subcellular localization of Itm2a in murine dental ...

Papain Gel as a Deproteinizing Agent for Tooth Enamel
Mexican Journal of Medical Research ICSAPapain gel has been shown to be an effective deproteinizing agent for tooth enamel in several studies. Papain, a proteolytic enzyme derived from papaya, has the ability to break down proteins and remove organic substances adhering to the surface of the ...

Efficient induction of functional ameloblasts from human keratinocyte stem cells
Stem Cell Research & Therapy, 2018 Background Although adult human tissue-derived epidermal stem cells are capable of differentiating into enamel-secreting ameloblasts and forming teeth with regenerated enamel when recombined with mouse dental mesenchyme that possesses odontogenic ...

Influence of salivary conditioning and sucrose concentration on biofilm-mediated enamel demineralization [PDF]
Journal of Applied Oral Science, 2020 The acquired pellicle formation is the first step in dental biofilm formation. It distinguishes dental biofilms from other biofilm types. Objective To explore the influence of salivary pellicle formation before biofilm formation on enamel ...
