No healthy teeth will form without this gene: if during tooth formation (odontogenesis) the so-called Jagged2 gene is inactivated, and hence the Notch signaling pathway interrupted, tooth crowns will ...

A new study identifies 18 genome regions that influence tooth size and shape, of which 17 have not been linked to our chompers before – and shows how genetic variation affects tooth dimensions across ...

Q: Can I change the shape of my teeth? A: Yes, and to do so, you can choose from several dental procedures. Dental bonding is a procedure in which your dentist applies a tooth-colored resin to the ...

One of the remaining challenges for evolutionary developmental studies of mammals, whose evolution is best known from their teeth, is how their tooth shape is altered during development. Researchers ...

Researchers report that they have identified genetic variants that determine the shape of human teeth, including a gene inherited from Neanderthals. The scientists published their paper “PITX2 ...

Researchers of the University of Helsinki have discovered a mechanism that regulates tooth shape formulation. One of the remaining challenges for developmental studies of mammals, whose evolution is ...
