The teeth are vertebrate-specific, highly specialized organs performing fundamental
functions of mastication and speech, the maintenance of which is crucial for orofacial …

Teeth play essential roles in life. Their development relies on reciprocal interactions
between the ectoderm-derived dental epithelium and the underlying neural crest-originated …

Despite signs of infection—including taste loss, dry mouth and mucosal lesions such as
ulcerations, enanthema and macules—the involvement of the oral cavity in coronavirus …

Cranial neural crest cells are an evolutionary innovation of vertebrates for craniofacial

Tooth enamel secreted by ameloblasts (AMs) is the hardest material in the human body,
acting as a shield to protect the teeth. However, the enamel is gradually damaged or …

Dental pulp regeneration is ideal for irreversible pulp or periapical lesions, and in situ stem
cell therapy is one of the most effective therapies for pulp regeneration. In this study, we …
