Effects of desensitizing dentifrices on dentin tubule occlusion and resistance to erosive challenges

open access: yesBMC Oral Health, 2021
Background Many studies have demonstrated efficacy of casein phosphopeptide (CPP) containing products for dentin tubule occlusion for treatment of dentin sensitivity, but their effectiveness under dynamic erosive challenges remains to be elucidated.

Comparing cranial biomechanics between Barbourofelis fricki and Smilodon fatalis: Is there a universal killing‐bite among saber‐toothed predators?

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Saber‐tooths, extinct apex predators with long and blade‐like upper canines, have appeared iteratively at least five times in the evolutionary history of vertebrates. Although saber‐tooths exhibit a relatively diverse range of morphologies, it is widely accepted that all killed their prey using the same predatory behavior. In this study, we CT‐

Comprehensive analyses of how tubule occlusion and advanced glycation end-products diminish strength of aged dentin

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2016
In clinical dentistry, since fracture is a major cause of tooth loss, better understanding of mechanical properties of teeth structures is important. Dentin, the major hard tissue of teeth, has similar composition to bone.

Reassessment of Xenodens calminechari with a discussion of tooth morphology in mosasaurs

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Xenodens calminechari is a mosasaurid taxon named by Longrich et al. (2021) based on the holotype MHNM.KH.331, a left maxilla with several teeth. This holotype was obtained nonscientifically (without technical supervision) from an area in Morocco that yields many manipulated or forged specimens. Examination of Longrich et al.

Immunocytochemical detection of dentin matrix proteins in primary teeth from patients with dentinogenesis imperfecta associated with osteogenesis imperfecta

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Histochemistry, 2014
Dentinogenesis imperfecta determines structural alterations of the collagen structure still not completely elucidated. Immunohistochemical analysis was used to assay Type I and VI collagen, various non-collagenous proteins distribution in human primary ...

Incisor cross‐sectional area at the cementoenamel junction correlates with an increased reliance on frugivory in anthropoid primates

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Diet is one of a limited set of key ecological parameters defining primate species. A detailed understanding of dental functional correlates with primate diet is a key component for accurate dietary inference in fossil primates. Although considerable effort has been devoted to understanding post‐canine dental function, incisor function remains

In vivo remineralization of dentin using an agarose hydrogel biomimetic mineralization system

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2017
A novel agarose hydrogel biomimetic mineralization system loaded with calcium and phosphate was used to remineralize dentin and induce the oriented densely parallel packed HA layer on defective dentin surface in vivo in a rabbit model.

Downregulation of FGF Signaling by Spry4 Overexpression Leads to Shape Impairment, Enamel Irregularities, and Delayed Signaling Center Formation in the Mouse Molar. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
FGF signaling plays a critical role in tooth development, and mutations in modulators of this pathway produce a number of striking phenotypes. However, many aspects of the role of the FGF pathway in regulating the morphological features and the mineral ...

Nanoscale chemical and mechanical heterogeneity of human dentin characterized by AFM-IR and bimodal AFM

open access: yesJournal of Advanced Research, 2020
Human dentin, as an important calcified tissue in the body, plays significant roles in withstanding masticatory forces and has a complex hierarchical organization.
