Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The rodent incisor is a good model system to study the molecular and cellular events that are involved in enamel biomineralization. Incisors in rodents continuously erupt during their lifespan, thus allowing the study of all stages of enamel synthesis, deposition, mineralization and maturation in the same tissue section. This model system has provided invaluable insight into the specifics of enamel formation as a basis to understand human pathologies such as amelogenesis imperfect. Furthermore, the rodent incisor allows exploration and understanding of some of the most fundamental mechanisms that govern biomineralization. Enamel is the most mineralized, hardest tissue in the body. It is formed within a unique organic matrix that, unlike other hard tissues such as bone and dentin, does not contain collagen. The formation of enamel can be divided into two main stages: the secretory and maturation stage. During the secretory stage, a highly ordered arrangement of hydroxyapatite crystals is formed under the influence of structural matrix proteins such as amelogenin, ameloblastin and enamelin. During the maturation stage, the organic matrix is removed and hydroxyapatite crystals expand to ultimately yield a functional hard structure consisting of over 96% mineral. Research efforts over the past decades have mainly focused on the secretory stage, providing novel insights into the concept of biomineralization. However, the events that occur during the maturation stage have not been yet explored in detail, likely because the physiological roles of the enamel-forming ameloblasts are more diverse and complex at this stage. Mature ameloblasts are involved in the regulation of calcium transport in large amounts, phosphate and protein fragments in and out of the maturing enamel and provide regulatory mechanisms for the control of the pH. In recent years, increased efforts have been dedicated towards defining the molecular events during enamel maturation. The development of an ever-increasing number of transgenic animal models has clearly demonstrated the essential roles of matrix and non-matrix proteins during enamel formation. Multiple traditional and modern analytical techniques are applied for the characterization of enamel in these animals. The need for this Research Topic therefore stems from new information that has been generated on molecular events during the enamel maturation stage and the development and application of highly advanced analytical techniques to characterize dental enamel. The benefits and limitations of these techniques need to be reviewed and their application standardized for valid comparative studies.

Download or read book Erosive Tooth Wear written by A. Lussi and published by Karger Medical and Scientific Publishers. This book was released on 2014-06-24 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Erosive tooth wear is a multifactorial condition of growing concern to the clinician and the subject of extensive research. Since the publication of the first edition of the book with the title Dental Erosion, new knowledge for a better understanding of this important subject has been gathered. The new and more detailed insights resulted in this second, extended publication. It presents a broad spectrum of views, from the molecular level to behavioural aspects, as well as trends in society. In particular, the issues concerning chemical and biological factors as well as dental erosion in children are covered more extensively in this second edition. The first chapters include topics such as the definition, diagnosis, interaction, epidemiology and histopathology of tooth wear. Further, the aetiology of dental erosion, including nutritional and patient-related factors, and dental erosion in children are discussed. This book is a valuable and indispensable guide to better oral health and is highly recommended to faculty members, researchers, dental students, practitioners and other dental professionals.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Research Topic will host an overview of the most recent knowledge on enamel issued from a group of international experts who gathered at the 10th International Symposium on Dental Enamel (Enamel X). The Topic will include manuscripts describing original data, short communication, and reviews. In addition, the Topic will host abstracts and panel discussions presented at the Enamel X meeting, to highlight changing paradigms, unsolved and challenging questions, as well as translational challenges. Bringing together physics, chemistry, biochemistry and development and differentiation, contributions to this Topic will focus on the unique architecture of enamel, from nano- to macro- scale, and the dynamic molecular interactions with lead to extracellular self-assembly and mineralization. This knowledge will open a window into innovative bioinspired treatment and materials for tissue repair and regeneration. Tissue-specific networks and pathways shared with a number of biological systems (clock genes, epithelial polarization/ion handling, cell niche dynamics, and cell signaling) will also be explored. This will give an overall picture of the multiple acellular, cellular and organismal (essentially transgenic mice) processes actively investigated in the enamel field. Similarly, lessons from isolated or syndromic, inherited and acquired enamel defects obtained using cutting edge cell and matrix-omics will establish the emerging genomic framework determining enamel quality. Tooth enamel defects reflect historical and present gene-environment interactions in the animal and human condition such as climate, nutrition, pollutants or fluoride exposures. This last fact is highly relevant in medicine and public health since poor tooth quality and mineral defects are one of the first human worldwide pathologies.
