The Quantification of Tooth Displacement [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
By using reference points from a single pixel marker placed at the center point of the cuspid teeth and the center point on each of the incisor teeth, a polynomial curve was generated as a native curve for each dental arch studied.

Hypercanines: Not just for sabertooths

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Hypercanines are here defined as hypertrophied caniniform teeth, that is, canine teeth that are elongated to serve specific functions in different clades of mammals and their synapsid ancestors. This article presents an overview of the occurrence of hypercanines, their growth, and their function across a broad range of clades.

The impact of Limosilactobacillus reuteri in combination with non-surgical periodontal therapy on periodontal clinical parameters and salivary and subgingival microbiota composition in individuals with stage III–IV periodontitis: a randomized controlled trial

open access: yesBMC Oral Health
Background The clinical and microbiological outcomes of probiotic-assisted periodontal therapy remain inconclusive in prior research. This ambiguity may stem from uncertainties regarding the duration, dosage, and administration route of probiotics ...

Antimicrobial properties and bonding durability of pH-responsive dentin adhesives with chlorhexidine-load mesoporous silica nanoparticles

open access: yesFrontiers in Materials
In this study, we synthesized pH-sensitive CHX@SBA-PDA nanoparticles and characterized their structure. These nanoparticles were then incorporated into Single Bond 2 commercial dentin adhesive. Subsequently, timely and long-term antibacterial evaluation,

Myological and osteological approaches to gape and bite force reconstruction in Smilodon fatalis

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Masticatory gape and bite force are important behavioral and ecological variables. While much has been written about the highly derived masticatory anatomy of Smilodon fatalis, there remains a great deal of debate about their masticatory behaviors.

Functional morphology of the pharyngeal teeth of the ocean sunfish, Mola mola

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Many fish use a set of pharyngeal jaws in their throat to aid in prey capture and processing, particularly of large or complex prey. In this study—combining dissection, CT scanning, histology, and performance testing—we demonstrate a novel use of pharyngeal teeth in the ocean sunfish (Mola mola), a species for which pharyngeal jaw anatomy had ...

Predicting ecology and hearing sensitivities in Parapontoporia—An extinct long‐snouted dolphin

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Analyses of the cetacean (whale and dolphin) inner ear provide glimpses into the ecology and evolution of extinct and extant groups. The paleoecology of the long‐snouted odontocete (toothed whale) group, Parapontoporia, is primarily marine with its depositional context also suggesting freshwater tolerance.
