Dentine hypersensitivity and tooth wear are prevalent dental conditions that significantly affect patients' quality of life. As the field of dental research progresses, there is a continuous evolution ...

Paul Sharpe, a bioengineer at King’s College London, and his colleagues discovered a new way regenerate teeth in mice. They have made even more progress that edges this experimental procedure closer ...

Extracted human teeth have long been used in conducting dental research, such as evaluating dental ceramic materials as a crown restoration on tooth. It is an inexpensive and straightforward process ...

Arosha Weerakoon's PhD research was funded by the UQ School of Dentistry Research Fund and Colgate Palmolive Australia. The tooth crown is covered by a hard enamel coat that surrounds softer, brown ...

New research shows that dentine, the inner layer of teeth that transmits sensory information to nerves inside the pulp, first evolved as sensory tissue in the armored exoskeletons of ancient fish.

CHICAGO -- The sensitive interior of human teeth might have originated from a seemingly unlikely place: sensory tissue in fish that were swimming in Earth's oceans 465 million years ago. While our ...

CT scan of the tooth-like-odontode structure from Astrapsis, an ancient jawless vertebrate fish. The tubules (shown in green) are filled with dentine, the same material that makes up the sensitive ...
