Caspases are evolutionary conserved proteases traditionally known as participating in apoptosis and inflammation but recently discovered also in association with other processes such as proliferation or differentiation.

Accuracy of Demirjian’s, Willems, Nolla’s and Modified Cameriere’s Dental Age Estimation Methods in Young Western Indian Children- A Cross-sectional Study [PDF]
Introduction: In forensic odontology, Dental Age (DA) assessment has gained popularity, since it is less variable than other indices and is less impacted by environmental variables.

Pleiotrophin Expression during Odontogenesis [PDF]
Pleiotrophin (PTN) is an extracellular matrix–associated growth factor and chemokine expressed in mesodermal and ectodermal cells. It plays an important role in osteoblast recruitment and differentiation. There is limited information currently available about PTN expression during odontoblast differentiation and tooth formation, and thus the authors ...

Background: Developmental defects of enamel (DDE) are frequently encountered in primary and permanent teeth, yet their etiology is not completely known. Enamel hypoplasia is considered a predisposing factor for early caries.

Reduced Dietary Protein Induces Changes in the Dental Proteome. [PDF]
Low dietary protein (10%) from normal (20%) does change protein expression in tooth proteome and alter developmental pathways. Among the significant protein expressions changes are actin‐based myosins, tooth, and bone development proteins. Perplexingly tooth size is not altered, suggesting more nuanced phenotypic response to low dietary protein in ...

Delayed Dental Development in Children With Non-Syndromic Hypodontia: A Cross-Sectional Study Using a Machine Learning Approach to Dental Age Estimation. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Objectives To investigate the influence of non‐syndromic hypodontia on radiographic dental development and to estimate dental age in children with bilateral mandibular agenesis using a machine learning approach. Materials and Methods This retrospective cross‐sectional study included 626 children aged 6–15 years (311 with dental agenesis, 315 ...

Supernumerary Tooth Patterns in Non-Syndromic White European Subjects
Supernumerary teeth form at an incidence of about 3% in the population, with differences among races and various clinical consequences. Information on detailed patterns, and especially on white subjects, is scarce in the literature.

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