KMT2D Regulates Tooth Enamel Development. [PDF]
J Dent ResAmelogenesis, the process of enamel formation, is tightly regulated and essential for producing the tooth enamel that protects teeth from decay and wear. Disruptions in amelogenesis can result in amelogenesis imperfecta, a group of genetic conditions characterized by defective enamel, including enamel hypoplasia, marked by thin or underdeveloped enamel.

Calcium Phosphate Nanoclusters for the Repair of Tooth Enamel Erosion
Nanomaterials, 2022 The artificial repair of tooth enamel is still an urgent requirement because it has a complicated and well-arranged structure. Herein, calcium phosphate nanoclusters (CaP NCs) were synthesized, via a facile approach, for application in the repair of ...

EPR dosimetry with tooth enamel: A review [PDF]
Applied Radiation and Isotopes, 2010 When tooth enamel is exposed to ionizing radiation, radicals are formed, which can be detected using electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) techniques. EPR dosimetry using tooth enamel is based on the (presumed) correlation between the intensity or amplitude of some of the radiation-induced signals with the dose absorbed in the enamel.

Hierarchically mimicking outer tooth enamel for restorative mechanical compatibility [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsTooth enamel, and especially the outer tooth enamel, is a load-resistant shell that benefits mastication but is easily damaged, driving the need for enamel-restorative materials with comparable properties to restore the mastication function and protect ...

Restoration of human tooth enamel
BMEMatHuman tooth enamel, consisting of hydroxyapatite nanocrystals (∼85–88 vol%), proteins (∼2‐3 vol%), and requisite water (∼10–12 vol%), is 1–3 mm thick at the outer layer of the tooth.

Susceptibility of Enamel to Initial Erosion in Relation to Tooth Type, Tooth Surface and Enamel Depth [PDF]
Caries Research, 2015 This study aimed at assessing the susceptibility of different tooth types (molar/premolar), surfaces (buccal/lingual) and enamel depths (100, 200, 400 and 600 µm) to initial erosion measured by surface microhardness loss (ΔSMH) and calcium (Ca) release.

Nano-indentation of native phytoliths and dental tissues: implications for herbivore-plant combat and dental wear proxies [PDF]
Evolutionary Systematics, 2018 Tooth wear induced by abrasive particles is a key process affecting dental function and life expectancy in mammals. Abrasive particles may be plant endogenous opal phytoliths, exogene wind-blown quartz dust or rain borne mineral particles ingested by ...
