Dental fluorosis is a developmental disturbance of dental enamel, caused by successive exposures to high concentrations of fluoride during tooth development, leading to enamel with lower mineral content and increased porosity. The... more
This study investigates differences in the δ13Ccol, δ15N, δ13Csc, δ18Osc, Sr/Ca, and Ba/Ca values of juvenile and adult woolly mammoths (Mammuthus primigenius) from Old Crow, Yukon, Canada. The data indicate that nursing in woolly... more
Age at menarche is a frequently used indicator to study growth and development. The development of hand and wrist indicates the peak height velocity which appears about two years before menarche. Bone development is linked with dental... more
Dental fluorosis is a developmental disturbance of dental enamel, caused by successive exposures to high concentrations of fluoride during tooth development, leading to enamel with lower mineral content and increased porosity. The... more
Tooth development results from sequential and reciprocal interactions between the oral epithelium and the underlying neural crest-derived mesenchyme. The generation of dental structures and/or entire teeth in the laboratory depends upon... more
Teeth are the most durable structures in the human body. The timing and sequence of their development, as contained in dental development charts, have been used as valid criteria for age determination. The third molars however are the... more

Epithelial-mesenchymal interactions guide tooth development through its early stages and establish the morphology of the dentin surface upon which enamel will be deposited. Starting with the onset of amelogenesis beneath the future cusp... more
The interference with tooth development by 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) was studied in dioxin-resistant Han/Wistar rats. Lactating dams were given a single dose of 50 or 1000 microg TCDD/kg body wt 1 day after delivery and... more
