Abstract Dental microwear texture analysis (DMTA) has emerged as a valuable method for investigating the feeding ecology of vertebrates. Over the past decade, three‐dimensional topographic data from microscopic regions of tooth surfaces have been collected, and surface texture parameters have been published for both extant and fossil species.

The effect of enamel proteins on erosion. [PDF]
Enamel proteins form a scaffold for growing hydroxyapatite crystals during enamel formation. They are then almost completely degraded during enamel maturation, resulting in a protein content of only 1% (w/v) in mature enamel.

Diagnosis of Occlusal Caries with Dynamic Slicing of 3D Optical Coherence Tomography Images
Detecting the extent of occlusal caries is a clinically important but challenging task required for treatment decision making. The aim of this study was to assess the diagnostic power of 3D swept-source optical coherence tomography (OCT) for evaluation ...

Abstract Dental microwear texture analysis (DMTA) has become a well‐established method for dietary inference and reconstruction in both extant and extinct mammals and other tetrapods. As the volume of available data continues to grow, researchers could benefit from combining published data from various studies to perform meta‐analyses.

Abstract The Pleistocene is a key period for understanding the evolutionary history and palaeobiogeography of the European rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus). The species was first documented in southeastern Iberia at the beginning of the Middle Pleistocene and appears to have rapidly spread throughout Southwestern Europe, where it was found in numerous ...

Enamel-Related Gene Products in Calvarial Development [PDF]
Enamel-related gene products (ERPs) are detected in non-enamel tissues such as bone. We hypothesized that if functional, ERP expression corresponds with distinct events during osteoblast differentiation and affects bone development and mineralization. In

Abstract Neandertals are known to possess very distinctive traits in their bony labyrinth morphology, such as an inferiorly positioned posterior canal and a very low number of turns in the cochlea. Hence, the inner ear has been often used to assess the Neandertal status of fragmentary fossils.

Enamel Organ of Rat Incisor has Preceding Papillary Layer instead of Stellate Reticulum above the Ameloblast in the Stage of Enamel Matrix Formation [PDF]
Objective: Since rat incisors continue to grow for the duration of the animals’ lifespan, the rat ameloblast is an optimal candidate for an amelogenesis study.

Abstract The ray‐finned fishes include one out of every two species of living vertebrates on Earth and have an abundant fossil record stretching 380 million years into the past. The division of systematic knowledge of ray‐finned fishes between paleontologists working on extinct animals and neontologists studying extant species has obscured the ...

Deciduous enamel 3D microwear texture analysis as an indicator of childhood diet in medieval Canterbury, England [PDF]
This study conducted the first three dimensional microwear texture analysis of human deciduous teeth to reconstruct the physical properties of medieval childhood diet (age 1-8yrs) at St Gregory's Priory and Cemetery (11th to 16th century AD) in ...
