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

Leaf teeth, i.e. projections of the leaf margin, are common among angiosperms. These structures may differ in several aspects, e.g. in the presence or absence of an associated gland. Cucurbitoid teeth ...

At first glance, teeth look a lot like bones: Both are hard, white and rich in calcium. So why aren't teeth considered part of the skeletal system? Even though teeth and bones share a few basic ...

A groundbreaking study reveals a new glycerol-stabilised calcium phosphate gel that can naturally repair early enamel damage, mimicking the tooth's own mineralisation. This innovation promises a shift ...
