Tooth number anomalies, including hyperdontia and hypodontia, are common congenital
dental problems in the dental clinic. The precise number of teeth in a dentition is essential …

Primary cilium is a solitary organelle that emanates from the surface of most postmitotic
mammalian cells and serves as a sensory organelle, transmitting the mechanical and …

The objective of this study was to determine whether the use of the most commonly
prescribed antibiotics and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs in childhood could disturb …

Caviid rodents have peculiar craniomandibular specializations toward masticatory
propalinal movements and grinding, in relation to a grass-rich diet. The aim of this study is …

The evolution of mammalian dentition is constrained by functional necessity and by the non‐
independence of morphological structures. Efficient chewing implies coherent tooth …

Apoptosis is an important morphogenetic event in embryogenesis as well as during
postnatal life. In the last 2 decades, apoptosis in tooth development (odontogenesis) has …

While the function of proteins and genes has been widely studied during vertebrate
development, relatively little work has addressed the role of carbohydrates. Hyaluronan …

Development of mammalian teeth and surrounding tissues includes time–space changes in
the extracellular matrix composition and organization. This requires complex control …

How teeth are replaced during normal growth and development has long been an important
question for comparative and developmental anatomy. Non‐standard model animals have …

During the formation of repetitive ectodermally derived organs such as mammary glands,
lateral line and teeth, the tissue primordium iteratively initiates new structures. In the case of …
