Environmental Influence on Dental Morphology [PDF]
Development is a complex phenomenon where the forming phenotype interacts with genetic and environmental inputs. Teeth are an important model for developmental studies and their development has been thoroughly investigated. However, despite of a large literature on the genetics of dental development, no studies have focused yet on the environmental ...

Dentin sialoprotein facilitates dental mesenchymal cell differentiation and dentin formation
Dentin sialoprotein (DSP) is a dentin extracellular matrix protein. It is involved in dental mesenchymal cell lineages and dentin formation through regulation of its target gene expression. DSP mutations cause dentin genetic diseases. However, mechanisms
