Distribution of Cathepsin K in Late Stage of Tooth Germ Development and Its Function in Degrading Enamel Matrix Proteins in Mouse

PLoS ONE, 2017
Cathepsin K (CTSK) is a member of cysteine proteinase family, and is predominantly expressed in osteoclastsfor degradationof bone matrix proteins. Given the similarity in physical properties of bone and dental mineralized tissues, including enamel ...

Metformin reverses periodontal destruction caused by experimental periodontitis by inhibiting interleukin‐1β activity

Journal of Periodontology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Periodontitis is a destructive disease that affects periodontal tissue. While current research focuses on disease management, research on tissue repair remains limited. Metformin, a first‐line medication for diabetes treatment, has positive effects on bone health in nondiabetic patients.

β-TCP/HA with or without enamel matrix proteins for maxillary sinus floor augmentation: a histomorphometric analysis of human biopsies

International Journal of Implant Dentistry, 2017
It is still unclear whether enamel matrix proteins (EMD) as adjunct to bone grafting enhance bone healing. This study compared histomorphometrically maxillary sinus floor augmentation (MSFA) with β-TCP/HA in combination with or without EMD in humans.

Proteomic Investigation of Human Dental Pulp to Identify Individuals Who Are Pregnant

PROTEOMICS – Clinical Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Biomolecules preserved in dental pulp are increasingly being used to identify individuals in the context of forensics and archaeology. Despite the vast amount of research into host and pathogen DNA, the potential use of physiologically informative proteins preserved in dental pulp has rarely been studied.

Dental malformations associated with biallelic MMP20 mutations

Molecular Genetics & Genomic Medicine, 2020
Background Matrix metallopeptidase 20 (MMP20) is an evolutionarily conserved protease that is essential for processing enamel matrix proteins during dental enamel formation.

The Role of Enamel Proteins in Protecting Mature Human Enamel Against Acidic Environments: A Double Layer Force Spectroscopy Study

Biointerphases, 2012
Characterisation of the electrostatic properties of dental enamel is important for understanding the interfacial processes that occur on a tooth surface and how these relate to the natural ability of our teeth to withstand chemical attack from the acids ...

Adhesion Forces of Dextran on Dental Enamel as a Function of Contact Time and pH Value

physica status solidi (a), EarlyView.
Dextran exhibits sawtooth‐shaped retraction curves on dental enamel, indicating multiple interaction points. Adhesion forces increase with contact time (0.35 nN at 10 s to >1.5 nN at 120 s) and are independent of pH (pH 4.5–13). Comparisons with other surfaces show that adhesion on enamel is lower but statistically insignificant at the 0.05 level ...

Genes involved in amelogenesis imperfecta. Part II

Revista Facultad de Odontología Universidad de Antioquia, 2019
Amelogenesis imperfecta (AI) is a condition of genetic origin that alters the structure of tooth enamel. AI may exist in isolation or associated with other systemic conditions as part of a syndromic AI.
