Using current methods of age determination, white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) from the same cohort are classified as 1.5-year-old deer when actual age may vary by 6 or more months. We ...

Current strategies for jaw reconstruction require multiple procedures, first to repair the bone defect to offer sufficient support, and then to place the tooth implant. The entire procedure can be ...

The aim of this study was to compare mandibular form (i.e., size and shape) between patients with agenesis of the lower second premolar (P2) and a control group with no agenesis. Three hypotheses were ...

The interaction between genetics and tissue environment shapes how individual teeth form in different regions of the jaw. While most experimental studies have focused on mandibular (lower jaw) teeth, ...

Researchers in Beijing have generated a transcriptomic atlas comparing human fetal tooth germs from the upper and lower jaws at the critical cap stage of development. Previous studies of tooth ...

Evolution, Vol. 75, No. 12 (DECEMBER 2021), pp. 3203-3213 (11 pages) Dollo’s law of irreversibility states that once a complex structure is lost, it cannot be regained in the same form. Several ...

A stainless-steel rubber dam clamp used during a root canal may have led to cortical necrosis in a healthy 22-year-old woman's mandibular tooth, according to a case report published on March 10 in the ...

The authors of new review published in the Journal of Dental Research (April 3, 2014) hope to increase the understanding of dental, oral, and craniofacial manifestations of rare bone diseases and ...

Representative images and heatmaps illustrate how human fetal tooth germs from the upper and lower jaws, although morphologically similar at the cap stage, already display distinct gene expression ...

A discovery of multiple toothpick grooves on teeth and signs of other manipulations by a Neanderthal of 130,000 years ago are evidence of a kind of prehistoric dentistry, according to a new study ...
