Losing teeth has meant artificial replacements for centuries. Japanese researchers at Kyoto University Hospital are changing that with human trials of a drug that regrows natural teeth. By 2030, ...

Pediatric dental research has increasingly focused on enamel defects and developmental dental anomalies due to their high prevalence and far-reaching ...

For most of human history, straight, well spaced teeth were the norm, not a luxury that required years of metal and elastic bands. Archaeologists routinely lift ancient skulls from the ground and find ...

Teeth may seem like static fixtures, but a new collaboration between engineers and clinicians is proving just how dynamic, informative and medically significant our teeth can be. Through their new ...

"Human children grow at a uniquely slow pace by comparison with other mammals. When and where did this schedule evolve? Have technological advances, farming and cities had any effect upon it?

Genetic variants that determine the shape of your teeth – including a gene inherited from Neanderthals – have been identified by a team co-led by UCL researchers. In a new paper published in Current ...

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 ...
