External apical root resorption (EARR) can be an undesirable sequela of orthodontic
treatment. Previous studies have suggested that EARR has a substantial genetic component. …

External apical root resorption (EARR) is a common sequela of orthodontic treatment,
although it may also occur in the absence of orthodontic treatment. The degree and severity of …

The mechanism of how fluoride causes fluorosis remains unknown. Exposure to fluoride
can inhibit protein synthesis, and this may also occur by agents that cause endoplasmic …

INTRODUCTION: Although human dental pulp stem cells isolated from healthy teeth have
been extensively characterized, it is unknown whether stem cells also exist in clinically …

A cDNA clone encoding the major intestinal cytosolic 14-kDa bile acid-binding protein (14-kDa
I-BABP) was isolated from a rat ileal lambda gt22A library following immunoscreening …

INTRODUCTION: A variation in bone response to fluoride (F − ) exposure has been attributed
to genetic factors. Increasing fluoride doses (0 ppm, 25 ppm, 50 ppm, 100 ppm) for three …

Systemic exposure to greater than optimal fluoride (F) can lead to dental fluorosis (DF).
Parental A/J (DF-susceptible) and 129P3/J (DF-resistant) inbred mice were used for histological …

Objectives: Proximal dental caries remains a prevalent disease with only modest detection
rates by current diagnostic systems. Many new systems are available without controlled …

INTRODUCTION: The influence of genetic background on bone architecture and mechanical
properties is well established. Nevertheless, to date, only few animal studies explore an …

Root resorption (RR) is an unwanted sequela of orthodontic treatment. Despite rigorous
investigation, no single factor or group of factors that directly causes RR has been identified. The …
