A hypothetical model illustrating how reduced Hedgehog signaling alters interactions between the rudimentary tooth bud (R2) and the first molar (M1), leading to supernumerary (SN) tooth or molar ...

For decades, dentists and scientists have dreamed of helping people regrow lost teeth. Now, thanks to remarkable advances in genetics, molecular biology, and regenerative medicine, that dream is ...

Oral health and development firm TriAgenics hopes to bring its 3D-guided microwave third-molar tooth bud ablation treatment to market in 2024. Zero3 is a surgery-free procedure, which has showed a 100 ...

Does using computer-controlled local anesthetic delivery (C-CLAD) technology -- such as the STA system from Milestone Scientific-- for an intraligamentary (ILI) injection on primary teeth in pediatric ...

A protein that quietly suppresses tooth growth may hold the key to regrowing teeth in adults, according to a line of research that has moved from mouse models to the doorstep of human clinical trials.

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 ...

A novel study on the natural coordination of tooth development in time and space, led by Dr. Han-Sung Jung at the Yonsei University College of Dentistry, Korea, has discovered that "lingual" cells on ...
