FGF receptor 2 isoform IIIb (FGFR2b), originally discovered as a receptor for FGF7, is known to be an important receptor in vertebrate morphogenesis, because FGFR2b null mice exhibit agenesis or dysgenesis of various organs, which undergo... more
To compare the prevalence and severity of developmental defects of enamel (DDE) among subjects whose maxillary incisors developed during periods with different concentrations of fluoride in the public water supply. Standardized intra-oral... more
Scientific progress in adhesive dentistry has led to more conservative techniques, both direct and indirect, to solve esthetic problems in anterior teeth. This article will discuss only indirect techniques, which are clearly superior in... more
The junctionalis form of epidermolysis bullosa (EBJ) is associated with a number of clinical problems involving tooth enamel, including increased susceptibility to caries. The aim here was to carry out a chemical characterization of the... more
This study's purpose was to assess the association between infant breast-feeding and caries experience of primary second molars in a nine-year longitudinal cohort study. Study sample was 509 subjects recruited at birth. Information... more
Caries is still a prevalent condition in 5-year-old children. At present, knowledge regarding some aetiological factors, like deciduous molar hypomineralization (DMH), is limited. To investigate aetiological factors both directly and... more
Previous research by the first author revealed that, relative to other modern peoples, sub-Saharan Africans exhibit the highest frequencies of ancestral (or plesiomorphic) dental traits and, thus, appear to be least derived dentally from... more
Early extraction of carious primary teeth may result in functional and/or loss of arch length problems. That is the rationale behind root canal therapy and/or space maintenance after the extraction of pulpally involved primary molars.... more
The etiological factors and timing of the onset of molar incisor hypomineralization (MIH) are still not clear. The aim of this study was to examine ground radial and sagittal sections from teeth diagnosed with MIH using light microscopy,... more
PURPOSE: This study's purpose was to compare the frequency of enamel defects (ED) in the complete primary dentition (CDD) of term children (TC) and preterm children (PTC) and to analyze neonatal factors associated with ED in PTC.METHODS:... more
This study examines the association between Harris lines and enamel hypoplasia. This association is analyzed in terms of: 1) presence/absence of these markers in each individual, and 2) age of the individuals at the time of Harris lines... more
Previous research by the first author revealed that, relative to other modern peoples, sub-Saharan Africans exhibit the highest frequencies of ancestral (or plesiomorphic) dental traits and, thus, appear to be least derived dentally from... more
A molar-incisor malformation (MIM) is a newly discovered type of dental anomaly of the permanent first molars, deciduous second molars, and permanent maxillary central incisors. MIM anomalies of the permanent first molars and deciduous... more
The aim of this study was to explore the relationship between early childhood caries (ECC) and relevant socio-economic, behavioural and biological experiences in the life course of children. A cross-sectional study of 2-year-old children... more
It is accepted that linear enamel hypoplasias (LEHs), a specific type of enamel thickness deficiency, are related to periodic physiological disruptions to enamel matrix secretion during times that teeth are developing. Thus, LEHs are... more
