Using an atomic-scale imaging tool on a sea creature's tooth, two Northwestern University researchers have peeled away some of the mystery of organic and inorganic interfaces in tooth and bone ...

A study finds an early mammaliaform displaying tooth anatomy that gives insight into the development of structures such as complex molars and multiple roots. One evolutionary milestone in the ...

Dental erosion is a growing concern, distinct from bacterial decay, and we explore the causes, from acidic foods to GERD, and ...

The presence of tooth structure between a carious lesion and the tip of a fluorescence caries detection device such as the Diagnodent can reduce the laser fluorescence readings, according to a study ...

Two distinct stem cell lineages that drive tooth root and alveolar bone formation have been identified by researchers from ...

Scientists have grown a tooth in a lab, marking a significant step toward regenerative dental treatments. The study, carried out in London by King's College and Imperial College, used a specially ...

Tooth decay causes the destruction of enamel, which is the hard outer surface of a tooth. As tooth decay progresses, it can attack deeper layers of a tooth, leading to cavities. Treatments can include ...
