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.

Eruption of Bioengineered Teeth: A New Approach Based on a Polycaprolactone Biomembrane
Obtaining a functional tooth is the ultimate goal of tooth engineering. However, the implantation of bioengineered teeth in the jawbone of adult animals never allows for spontaneous eruption due mainly to ankylosis within the bone crypt. The objective of

Gestational protein restriction alters the RANKL/OPG system in the dental germ of offsprings
Objective: Evaluate the dentinogenesis in the offspring of rats submitted to gestational protein restriction (GPR). Design: The offspring were evaluated at the 21st day of gestation (21 dG). Assessments were made of morphological parameters and the RANKL/

Autotransplantation of wisdom tooth in the alveolus of extracted first mandibular molar [PDF]
Dental autotransplantation is a surgical procedure where tooth or dental germ is transffered from one position to another, within the same person. This way an edentulous area after extraction can be successfully restored without the need of other more ...

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 ...

Peripheral developing odontoma in newborn. Report of two cases and literature review [PDF]
Extra-osseous odontogenic tumors are rarely observed. However, it is widely accepted that the remains of odontogenic epithelium entrapped in the oral soft tissues may be a possible source for peripheral odontogenic tumors differentiation.

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 ...
