On a model mechanism for the spatial patterning of teeth primordia in the Alligator [PDF]
We propose a model mechanism for the initiation and spatial positioning of teeth primordia in the alligator,Alligator mississippiensis. Detailed embryological studies by Westergaard & Ferguson (1986, 1987, 1990) show that jaw growth plays a crucial role ...

Maturation stage enamel defects in Odontogenesis‐associated phosphoprotein (Odaph) deficient mice
Mutation in Odontogenesis‐associated phosphoprotein (ODAPH) has been reported to cause recessive hypomineralized amelogenesis imperfecta (AI) in human. However, the exact role of ODAPH in amelogenesis is still unknown.

Bilateral Radicular Dens Invaginatus in Mandibular First Premolars-Report of Two Rare Cases [PDF]
Dens invaginatus is a developmental dental anomaly which is clinically seen as a furrow on the palatal aspect of the tooth either limiting to the coronal pulp or extending to the radicular apex. It occurs most commonly in females affecting crowns of the

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Chromatin remodeling, specifically the tissue-specific regulation in mineralized tissues, is an understudied avenue of gene regulation. Here we show that Baf45a and Baf45d, two Baf45 homologs belong to ATPase-dependent SWI/SNF chromatin remodeling ...

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.

The fibroblast growth factor (FGF) pathway plays an important role in epithelial-mesenchymal interactions during tooth development. Nevertheless, how the ligands, receptors, and antagonists of the FGF pathway are involved in epithelial-mesenchymal ...
