Molar Incisor Hypomineralization (MIH) and related enamel defects represent a significant developmental anomaly affecting dental enamel quality and structure. These defects, generally identified in ...

Bacteria are not the sole cause of caries; tooth resistance also plays an instrumental role. Researchers from the University of Zurich demonstrate that mutated genes lead to defects in the tooth ...

Bacteria are not the sole cause of cavities; tooth resistance also plays an instrumental role. Researchers demonstrate that mutated genes lead to defects in the tooth enamel and can therefore ...

In mice, mutations in Adam10 molecule resulted in severe damage in the structure and mineral composition of tooth enamel. Enamel is the hardest organic tissue found in nature. It has a very complex ...

Enamel defects while in the womb or during early childhood lead to shorter life spans, American scientists have claimed. While studying a group of ancient human — Australopithecines — from South ...

Asthma medication use may not be associated with dental disease in children; however, having a dog during the first year of life suggests a reduced risk of enamel defects, according to a study ...

In addition to humans, hereditary disorders of enamel development occur in dogs, greatly impacting their dental health and wellbeing. A recent study reveals canine enamel disorders similar to those ...

Why do some people develop caries even though they always brush their teeth carefully while others are less stringent regarding dental hygiene yet do not have any holes? Ultimately, both have bacteria ...

Enamel is the hardest organic tissue found in nature. It has a very complex structure, which is made up of minerals and enamel-specific proteins produced by tooth-exclusive cells called ameloblasts.
