The musculature and skeleton of the pelvic fin of the crocodile shark, Pseudocarcharias kamoharai (Matsubara, 1936) (Elasmobranchii: Lamniformes): Morphology and sexual dimorphism

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
This work brings new information on the sexual characteristics of the crocodile shark (Pseudocarcharias kamoharai) exploring the pelvic fin musculature, as well as the siphon sac and the musculature and skeleton of the clasper. Our paper is the first to point out clearly the sexual dimorphism related exclusively to the pelvic fin musculature in males ...

Fusion of Unerupted Mesiodens with a Regular Maxillary Central Incisor: a Diagnostic and Therapeutic Challenge

Acta Stomatologica Croatica, 2021
The mesiodens is the most frequent type of supernumerary tooth which can appear in the maxillary midline area. The etiology of mesiodentes is not fully understood.

The ID of the Supernumerary Tooth

, 2023
Teeth Numbering Systems help in easy communication and documentation of the tooth or teeth of concern. They are devised in a manner in which their implementation is easy. However, confusion arises when there is an additional tooth in the arch. This article explains how a supernumerary tooth is numbered.

Integrated microanatomy and microstructure of the maxillary tooth plate reveal a reinforced feeding system and tougher diet in Late Triassic Hyperodapedontinae (Rhynchosauria, Archosauromorpha)

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Hyperodapedontine rhynchosaurs possessed a unique oral apparatus, long interpreted as an adaptation for processing abrasive and resistant plant material. However, the microanatomical and histological evidence supporting this interpretation remains poorly documented.

FAM20B-catalyzed glycosaminoglycans control murine tooth number by restricting FGFR2b signaling

BMC Biology, 2020
Background The formation of supernumerary teeth is an excellent model for studying the molecular mechanisms that control stem/progenitor cell homeostasis needed to generate a renewable source of replacement cells and tissues.

Loss, persistence and reversal of phenotypic traits

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The irreversibility of complex trait loss has long been a tenet of evolutionary biology. However, this idea is increasingly at odds with the numerous documented exceptions across the Tree of Life. We synthesise this growing body of evidence across a diverse array of taxa and traits, exploring the evolutionary conditions that enable ...

Perigraftitis, an independent biologic complication associated with implants placed in grafted bone

Clinical Advances in Periodontics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Perigraftitis is a recently introduced concept describing biologic complications specifically associated with implants placed in grafted bone. It is characterized by inflammation resulting from bacterial colonization of grafted bone and/or residual graft particulates.

Tooth autotransplantation following extraction of periodontally hopeless teeth in a periodontitis patient

Clinical Advances in Periodontics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background The aim of the study is to report clinical outcomes of autogenous tooth transplantation (ATT) of fully developed third molars following the extraction of periodontally hopeless teeth as a part of the treatment of a stage III, grade C, molar‐incisor pattern (MIP) periodontitis case.
