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 ...

Japanese scientists are developing a drug, TRG-035, to regenerate missing teeth by inhibiting a protein that prevents adult ...

It may very well be possible to grow new teeth sometime in the future. In fact, a Japanese company working on a tooth-growing drug is just now slated to enter clinical trials, making it the world's ...

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.

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
