Metabolites are important determinants of disease progression. In this study, we conducted a case-control study to explore permanent teeth caries-related differences in salivary metabolite profiles and related changes in the composition of the oral microbiota in 200 subjects including 100 caries-...
Human deciduous and permanent teeth exhibit different developmental processes, morphologies, histological characteristics and life cycles. In addition their pulp tissues react differently to external stimuli, such as the pulp sensitivity test, dental trauma and pulp therapy materials. These differen...
There are histological and functional differences between human deciduous and permanent pediodontal ligament (PDL) tissues. The purpose of this study was to determine the differences between these two types of tissue at the molecular level by comparative gene expression analysis. PDL samples were ob...
To identify genes heretofore undiscovered as critical players in the biogenesis of teeth, we have used microarray gene expression analysis of the developing mouse molar tooth (DMT) between 1 and 10 days postnatal to identify genes differentially expressed when compared to 16 control tissues (GEO acc...
Limpets are marine mollusks using mineralized teeth, one of the hardest and strongest biomaterials, to feed on algae on intertidal rocks. However, most of studies only focuses on the ultrastructure and chemical composition of the teeth while the molecular information is largely unknown, limiting our...
In order to research the variation in protein distribution in teeth, proteins were extracted from archaeological (15-18th century, Netherlands) and modern teeth and identified using LC-MS/MS. Of the recovered proteins we then visualised the distribution of collagen type I (both the alpha-1 and -2 ch...
We have isolated protein extracts from four major types of human teeth i.e. Molar,Premolar,Incisor and Canine through deminralization process. Within these four extrcats, we identified and quatitated differential protein abundance through MS based approach.
This research examines animal teeth from Early Dynastic (2900-2350 BC) Mesopotamia (Southern Iraq) to assess animal management practices and identify consumption patterns in animal diets. The objective to answer larger questions about food management and environmental resilience in ancient early com...
Dental calculus is becoming a crucial material in the study of past populations, with increasing interest in its proteomic and genomic content. Here we suggest further development of protocol for analysis of ancient proteins and a combined approach for subsequent ancient DNA extraction. We tested th...
