Enamel, once formed, loses the ability to regenerate due to the loss of the formative
ameloblasts. It is subjected to constant damaging events due to exposure to external agents …

Early childhood caries (ECC) is one of the most prevalent diseases in children worldwide.
ECC is driven by a dysbiotic state of oral microorganisms mainly caused by a sugar‐rich …

This is a comprehensive and accessible overview of what is known about the structure and
mechanics of bone, bones, and teeth. In it, John Currey incorporates critical new concepts …

Dissolution of hydroxyapatite from the tooth structure at low pH can lead to the irreversible
destruction of enamel and dentin, which if left untreated can result in pain and tooth loss …

Now entering its 40th anniversary, the fifth edition of Oral Anatomy, Histology and
Embryology has been thoroughly overhauled, updated and augmented to meet the needs of …

The restoration of dentine lost in deep caries lesions in teeth is a routine and common
treatment that involves the use of inorganic cements based on calcium or silicon-based …

In this review we attempt to reconstruct the evolutionary history of hominin life history from
extant and fossil evidence. We utilize demographic life history theory and distinguish life …

Abstract The publication of The Osteological Paradox (Wood et al., 1992, Current
Anthropology, 33: 343–370) a decade ago sparked debate about the methods and …

Most non‐tetrapod vertebrates develop mineralized extra‐oral elements within the
integument. Known collectively as the integumentary skeleton, these elements represent the …

Gene duplication creates evolutionary novelties by using older tools in new ways. We have
identified evidence that the genes for enamel matrix proteins (EMPs), milk caseins, and …
