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 ...

Humans naturally produce only two sets of teeth in their lifetime, so tooth loss due to injury or disease is fairly common. Lost teeth are replaced, not restored, with dentures, fillings, or implants.

A team of researchers including those from Biotechnology Center of the TU Dresden (BIOTEC), have found that stem cells could be used for several forms of tissue engineering including tooth repair.

TL;DR: This innovative approach could potentially revolutionize dental treatments by providing a new source for human tooth regeneration. At the moment, there are only a few options for dental ...

Alexandria, Va., USA - Tooth loss is a significant health issue currently affecting millions of people worldwide. While artificial dental implants are the existing standard tooth replacement therapy, ...

A collaboration of dentists and engineers from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV) made a discovery that could potentially revolutionize how and where we harvest, preserve, and use stem cells.

While stem cells have been touted for years as a treatment that may revolutionize dental care, much about how they work and how to design treatment strategies using these cells is still unknown.

Could wisdom teeth be a problem of the past? Researchers have found that young children who got shots of anesthetic for dental work sometimes never grow lower wisdom teeth when they are older. The ...
