TL;DR: Data indicate that garlic extract inhibits the growth of oral pathogens and certain proteases and so may have therapeutic value, particularly for periodontitis.

TL;DR: Product characteristics and to a lesser extent oral physiology significantly affect swallowing threshold, especially for the dry products cake, melba toast and toast.

TL;DR: Results clearly demonstrate that perivascular progenitor/stem cells can proliferate in response to odontoblast injury and show that these proliferating cells can migrate to the pulpal injury site in their tissue of origin simulating the situation in vivo.

TL;DR: During short time exposition at constant pH level, erosive effects mainly depend on pH and type of acid but not on amount of titratable acid, which meant HCl and MA were shown to have the lowest erosIVE effects.

TL;DR: A reduction in salivary function and altered composition are age related and a compensatory capacity that prevents OSCs appears to exist in elderly patients who do not use drugs, but drugs were found to have an extensive effect on Oscs.

TL;DR: The results suggest that stable ecological conditions were maintained long-term within the oral environment of the individual saliva donor but that transient fluctuations also occurred.

TL;DR: The photoactivation of Rose Bengal, using the HHP, inactivated the bacteria without affecting the fibroblast viability and it was observed that the light is not toxic and in the dark Rose Bengal is toxic to the cells tested only at concentrations above 2.5 microM.

TL;DR: These experiments are an indication that it is possible to induce odontogenesis and engineer a tooth using adult cells of non-dental origin and indicate that developing tooth germs could be successfully implanted into the gingiva of patients.

TL;DR: Enterococcus faecalis is consistently associated with recurrent root canal infections and quantifiable detection strategies more sensitive than culturing, such as quantitative PCR (qPCR), could provide more illuminating data.

TL;DR: These intrinsically disordered multiphosphorylated proteins are the translation products of genes displaying examples of codon usage bias, internal repeats and conserved chromosomal synteny within the mammalian class.

TL;DR: Results were consistent with the hypothesis that oestrogen acts through trigeminal ganglion cells and caudal portions of the Vc to modulate sensory and autonomic aspects of craniofacial pain in a sex-related manner.

TL;DR: chronological changes in the localisation of caries in populations that inhabited continental Croatia during the mediaeval period indicate a gradual reduction of interproximal caries and an increase of occlusal, buccal, and lingual lesions.

TL;DR: The findings on coaggregation amongst these isolates imply existence of multiple interactions between the coaggregate-inducing bacterial species in root caries, and Actinomyces, Veillonella, Prevotella and Fusobacterium spp.

TL;DR: A new concept is proposed that the eternal tooth bud producing various dental progeny is formed at the apical end of continuously growing teeth, and a new term "apical bud" for indicating this specialized epithelial structure.

TL;DR: The suitability of the esophageal mucosa as a model for buccal permeability studies is confirmed, with a significant increase in permeability to fentanyl.

TL;DR: Sequence alignment reveals that several residues in the N- and C-terminal regions were kept unchanged during 250 million years (MY), proving their importance for amelogenin structure and function, and permits a rapid validation of the amelgenin mutations in human.

TL;DR: In vitro results indicate that effects of TGF-beta isoforms on the growth, collagen synthesis and collagen lattice contraction of pulp cells may play crucial roles in the pathobiological processes of dental pulp.

TL;DR: The genes currently known to be mutated in human osteoclast diseases will be reviewed and, where known, the effect of osteopetrosis dysfunction on dental development described.

TL;DR: DPSC differentiation can be characterized by downregulation of MEPE as other markers of DPSC differentiation, such as DSP, are upregulated, suggesting that MEPE is an inhibitor of mineralization.

TL;DR: It was concluded that the time of measurement strongly influences the diagnosis of hyposalivation and it is suggested that unstimulated whole saliva tests are performed at a fixed time-point or in a limited time interval early in the morning.

TL;DR: Results suggest that apical bud cells can enter the ameloblast cell lineage through interaction with mesenchymal cells, as IEE cells, on the other hand, are already committed to differentiate into ameloblasts.

TL;DR: The analysis of the expression of the Jagged2 gene in developing mouse teeth demonstrates that Notch signalling plays an essential role in tooth development.

TL;DR: Ontogenetic and phylogenetic data support that the S in Ta mice arises due to the segregation of the distal premolar vestige from the molar dentition and thus represents an evolutionary throwback (atavism).

TL;DR: Orthodontic forces induce faster osteoclast recruitment in young than in adult rats and more osteoclasts are needed to achieve a certain rate of tooth movement in adult than in young rats.

TL;DR: Epithelial cells attacked in OLP have a very low response to apoptosis and cell cycle arrest mechanisms, which may produce an epithelial substrate that favours malignant transformation.

TL;DR: The biochemical data, coupled with human genetic studies and expression analysis in a mouse model, indicate a functional relationship between Pax9 and Msx1 during tooth development and there is a physical association between the two proteins.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyzed the phenotypes of three independent odontoblast cells derived from the pulp of the developing tooth by RT-PCR and Western blot and found that these cells were shared by the C1 mesodermal cells that are capable of differentiating along osteogenic, chondrogenic or adipogenic lineages.

TL;DR: Recent advances in the understanding of Ectodysplasin/NFkappaB signalling in tooth development and in particular the central role of the IKK complex are reviewed.

TL;DR: Evaluating the association of the AI enamel defect with craniofacial features characteristic of an open bite malocclusion found that the enamel phenotype severity did not necessarily correspond with the presence or severity of open Bite malocclussion.

TL;DR: The aging process starts with acinar atrophy, followed by the presence of duct-like structures and ends with the replacement of the parenchyma by fibrous and/or adipose tissue.
