To this day, cavities and damage to enamel are repaired by dentists with the help of synthetic white filling materials. There is no natural alternative to this. But a new 3D model with human dental ...

Two distinct stem cell lineages that drive tooth root and alveolar bone formation have been identified by researchers from Science Tokyo. Using genetically modified mice and lineage-tracing techniques ...

Genetic variants that determine the shape of your teeth -- including a gene inherited from Neanderthals -- have been identified by a team of researchers. Genetic variants that determine the shape of ...

Adults could one day grow their own replacement teeth instead of having fillings—as scientists make a key discovery. This research offers a potential way to repair teeth and a natural dental treatment ...
