Circadian rhythms are self-sustaining oscillations within biological systems that play key
roles in a diverse multitude of physiological processes. The circadian clock mechanisms in …

The oral and maxillofacial organs play vital roles in chewing, maintaining facial beauty, and
speaking. Almost all physiological processes display circadian rhythms that are driven by …

Tooth development is a complex process that is tightly controlled by circadian rhythm.
Melatonin (MT) is a major hormonal regulator of the circadian rhythm, and influences dentin …

Objectives Human tooth enamel retains evidence of growth in the form of Retzius lines. The
number of daily growth increments between the regularly occurring lines defines their repeat …

Based on the previously established periodicity of enamel growth marks, we reconstructed
crown growth parameters of mandibular second molars from two wild boar and two domestic …

Orthodontic tooth movement (OTM) depends on periodontal ligament cells (PDLCs) sensing
biomechanical stimuli and subsequently releasing signals to initiate alveolar bone …

Rationale Proteins extracted from archaeological bone and teeth are utilised for
investigating the phylogeny of extinct and extant species, the biological sex and age of past …

To evaluate the possibility of obtaining detailed individual mobility data from archaeological
teeth, the strontium isotope ratios on 28 human teeth from three separate Early-Mid …

Mammalian dental hard tissues exhibit incremental markings that reflect the periodic
variation of appositional growth rates. In order to use these markings to characterize dental …

Third permanent molars (M3s) are the last tooth to form but have not been used to estimate
age at dental maturation in early fossil hominins because direct histological evidence for the …
