A new study identifies 18 genome regions that influence tooth size and shape, of which 17 have not been linked to our chompers before – and shows how genetic variation affects tooth dimensions across ...

Genetic variants that determine the shape of your teeth -- including a gene inherited from Neanderthals -- have been identified by a team of researchers. Genetic variants that determine the shape of ...

One of the remaining challenges for evolutionary developmental studies of mammals, whose evolution is best known from their teeth, is how their tooth shape is altered during development. Researchers ...

TUESDAY, Dec. 17, 2024 (HealthDay News) -- Ever wonder why your teeth look the way they do? A group of genes drive the shape of each person’s teeth, including at least one gene inherited from ...

While many people worry about the photogenic layout of their teeth, chances are most don’t think about individual tooth shape. Well, you should—because it might be partially determined by your ...

Is it true that your tooth shape and other things may dictate how you’re supposed to floss? Dental experts recommend flossing teeth at least once a day, ideally before bed. The goal is to remove food ...

A temporary crown is a tooth-shaped cap that protects a natural tooth or implant until your permanent crown can be made and cemented into place. Because temporary crowns are more delicate than ...

From embryo to turtle cracker: a team led by palaeobiologist Julia Türtscher from the University of Vienna studied the multiple changes in tooth shape in the tiger shark. The study, recently published ...

Genetic variants that determine the shape of your teeth – including a gene inherited from Neanderthals – have been identified by a team co-led by UCL researchers. In a new paper published in Current ...
