Structural Morphology of Molars in Large Mammalian Herbivores: Enamel Content Varies between Tooth Positions. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 The distribution of dental tissues in mammalian herbivores can be very different from taxon to taxon. While grazers tend to have more elaborated and complexly folded enamel ridges, browsers have less complex enamel ridges which can even be so far reduced

Uneven distribution of enamel in the tooth crown of a Plains Zebra (Equus quagga) [PDF]
PeerJ, 2015 Unworn teeth of herbivorous mammals are not immediately functional. They have to be partially worn to expose enamel ridges which can then act as shear-cutting blades to break the food down.

The Innovation, 2022 With the rapid development of aerospace, national defense technology, and biological hard-tissue repair, engineers and scientists always aim at the design and manufacture of composites with higher stiffness, viscoelasticity, strength, and toughness, but unfortunately, these properties—stiffness/viscoelasticity and strength/toughness—are generally ...

Saudi Journal of Oral Sciences, 2020 Background: An enamel rod is the basic unit of tooth enamel measuring 4 μm wide to 8 μm high and is tightly packed, highly organized mass of hydroxyapatite crystals, which are hexagonal in shape and provide rigidity to the rods and strengthen the enamel.

Aluminablasting of human tooth enamel
Journal of Materials Science: Materials in Medicine, 1997 As part of a programme aimed at enhancing the degree of bonding that can be developed between dental polymer and human tooth enamel, the enamel has been subjected to two types of pretreatment, namely, aluminablasting (a mechanical etching) and aluminablasting followed by surface etching with orthophosphoric acid. Analysis of the surfaces so prepared by

To What Extent is Primate Second Molar Enamel Occlusal Morphology Shaped by the Enamel-Dentine Junction? [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 The form of two hard tissues of the mammalian tooth, dentine and enamel, is the result of a combination of the phylogenetic inheritance of dental traits and the adaptive selection of these traits during evolution.

An epithelial signalling centre in sharks supports homology of tooth morphogenesis in vertebrates
eLife, 2022 Development of tooth shape is regulated by the enamel knot signalling centre, at least in mammals. Fgf signalling regulates differential proliferation between the enamel knot and adjacent dental epithelia during tooth development, leading to formation of
