Notum as a Crucial Regulator of Matrix Integrity in Dentinogenesis. [PDF]
With Notum deficiency, mouse dentin exhibits a thicker yet dysplastic structure with disrupted tubular organization, resulting in functionally compromised dentin. Notum precisely regulates Wnt/β‐catenin signaling within the dentin‐pulp complex to support dentin formation.

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 ...

In vitro evaluation of periapical lesion‐derived stem cells for dental pulp tissue engineering
Dental pulp tissue engineering is a promising alternative treatment for pulpitis and periapical periodontitis, and dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) are considered to be the gold standard for dental seed cell research.

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.

Wnt signaling during tooth replacement in zebrafish (Danio rerio) : pitfalls and perspectives [PDF]
The canonical (13-catenin dependent) Wnt signaling pathway has emerged as a likely candidate for regulating tooth replacement in continuously renewing dentitions.

Nonsyndromic gemination-associated microdontia: A report of an unusual case
Tooth gemination is a dental anomaly that results from an incomplete attempt of a single tooth germ to separate during morphodifferentiation stage of odontogenesis, and it usually exhibits a large bifid crown with a single common root and root canal ...

Test Tube Tooth: The Next Big Thing [PDF]
Unlike some vertebrates and fishes, humans do not have the capacity for tooth regeneration after the loss of permanent teeth. Although artificial replacement with removable dentures, fixed prosthesis and implants is possible through advances in the ...

Rare and Common Variants Conferring Risk of Tooth Agenesis [PDF]
We present association results from a large genome-wide association study of tooth agenesis (TA) as well as selective TA, including 1,944 subjects with congenitally missing teeth, excluding third molars, and 338,554 controls, all of European ancestry. We
