Early changes in children’s saliva biochemistry may be linked to enamel development issues, like hypomineralized second primary molars (HSPM) or molar incisor hypomineralization (MIH). This study was ...

Asthma medication use may not be associated with dental disease in children; however, having a dog during the first year of life suggests a reduced risk of enamel defects, according to a study ...

Bacteria are not the sole cause of caries; tooth resistance also plays an instrumental role. Researchers from the University of Zurich demonstrate that mutated genes lead to defects in the tooth ...

Molar Incisor Hypomineralization (MIH) and related enamel defects represent a significant developmental anomaly affecting dental enamel quality and structure. These defects, generally identified in ...

Enamel is the hardest organic tissue found in nature. It has a very complex structure, which is made up of minerals and enamel-specific proteins produced by tooth-exclusive cells called ameloblasts.

Enamel hypoplasia is a developmental defect resulting in thin, deficient, or missing enamel, increasing the risk for dental caries. The condition can stem from hereditary factors, like amelogenesis ...

Alexandria, Va., USA - IADR President Pamela Den Besten presented and chaired the IADR President's Symposium "Enamel Defects as Biomarkers for Exposure to Environmental Stressors" at the virtual 99th ...
