Using nanoscale technology, researchers have, for the first time, produced detailed 3-D maps of the composition and structure of mature human tooth enamel. The maps show the position of atoms critical ...

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 various ...

New studies shed light on ancient creatures' dental structure and wear -- and how these unique characteristics helped them live and adapt to their environments. A trio of published studies have ...

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

Single tooth implants represent a critical restorative option in modern dentistry for addressing the gap left by a missing ...

Distance and tooth structure were found to reduce the ability of the Diagnodent to assess occlusal caries, the researchers concluded. For this reason, "Diagnodent readings should not be relied on when ...

The Tyrannosaurus rex and its fellow theropod dinosaurs that rampage across the screen in movies like Jurassic World were successful predators partly due to a unique, deeply serrated tooth structure ...

The presence of tooth structure between a carious lesion and the tip of a fluorescence caries detection device such as the Diagnodent can reduce the laser fluorescence readings, according to a study ...
