Molar morphology and occlusion of the Early Jurassic mammaliaform Erythrotherium parringtoni [PDF]
Acta Palaeontologica Polonica, 2022 The South African Early Jurassic morganucodontan Erythrotherium is considered by some authors to be potentially synonymous with Morganucodon, due to similar tooth morphology.

Expression of CD31, CD34, and smooth muscle actin (SMA) in endothelial cells of dental pulp vessels
Biomolecules & Biomedicine, 2023 The dental pulp is a highly vascularized and innervated loose connective tissue surrounded by hard dental tissues – enamel and dentine. With the primary dentin formation and the closure of the root apex, the conditions in the dental pulp change and pulp

Carnassiform notches improve the functional efficiency of bat molar shearing crests [PDF]
Acta Palaeontologica Polonica, 2022 We surveyed molar surface morphology of bats of 281 extant and extinct species in 5 archaic and 19 extant families using scanning microscopy. We note the occurrence of structural features on talonid crests, the cristid obliqua, postcristid, and ...

Genes and tooth development: reviewing the structure and function of some key players.
Brazilian Journal of Oral Sciences, 2015 Similar to many other embryonic organs, the mammalian tooth development relies largely on epithelial-mesenchymal interactions. Tooth development may be divided in multiple stages, where the number, size and type of teeth are sequentially determined ...
