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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
