Teeth function not only because of the hard enamel on the surface, but also because they have roots that anchor them firmly in the jawbone beneath the gums. Eating, speaking, and maintaining the shape ...

The interaction between Hertwig's epithelial root sheath (HERS) and surrounding mesenchymal cells is crucial for root dentin formation. HERS influences tooth root development and odontoblast ...

Tooth root development relies on precise coordination of cellular signals, yet the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Researchers have uncovered how two proteins, Gli2 and Gli3, work together to ...

University scientists have identified a gene responsible for initiating the normal development of tooth roots in mammals. Researchers made this discovery by creating a mouse lacking the gene ...

A novel study on the natural coordination of tooth development in time and space, led by Dr. Han-Sung Jung at the Yonsei University College of Dentistry, Korea, has discovered that "lingual" cells on ...
