The structure of our teeth goes beyond mere aesthetics; it plays a crucial role in determining overall health. From oral hygiene to systemic well-being, the condition of our teeth influences ...

Using an atomic-scale imaging tool on a sea creature's tooth, two Northwestern University researchers have peeled away some of the mystery of organic and inorganic interfaces in tooth and bone ...

To understand why teeth can’t regenerate, it's essential to look at their structure. Teeth are composed of three main layers: Enamel: The outermost, hardest part of the tooth.

Evolution is conventionally presented as a parade of adult morphology as it changes through time, and teeth are often the best (or only) lines of evidence that palaeontologists have at their ...

A study finds an early mammaliaform displaying tooth anatomy that gives insight into the development of structures such as complex molars and multiple roots.

Andre Studart, Professor of Complex Materials, said that they were able to produce a tough, multi-layered material based on the construction principle of teeth or seashells.

Mammalian dental morphology and function are strongly linked to diet. Within mammals, phyllostomid bats are the most diverse family in terms of dietary ecology and thus represent a unique opportunity ...

Dinos with bite: Unique tooth structure allowed predatory dinosaurs to efficiently crunch flesh and bone Date: July 28, 2015 Source: University of Toronto Summary: The Tyrannosaurus rex and its ...

The authors state that this is not meant to dictate either cavity design or restorative material but to encourage preservation of tooth structure.

Scientists used a combination of advanced microscopy and chemical detection techniques to uncover the structural makeup of human tooth enamel at unprecedented atomic resolution.
