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

The title of this book reinforces the most important concept of preservation of tooth tissue, which sometimes tends to be overlooked as we concentrate on techniques for restoring teeth. Emphasis ...

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 ...

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

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 ...

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.

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

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.
