Studies of Systematics Page 1 Scanning Microscopy Volume 6 Number 1 Article 16 2-11-1992 …

Archaeological discoveries of teeth provide remarkable information on humans, animals and
the health, hygiene and diet of ancient communities. In this fully revised and updated 2005 …

The present paper evaluates the enamel growth tracks as tools in the chronological
mapping of dental development, with special reference to hominids. Dental enamel consists …

The rat incisor is an excellent model system in which to study amelogenesis. However, the
information obtained has not been extrapolated to the human because of alleged structural …

The large variability of the microstructure of mammalian enamel is the result of evolutionary
processes. Although enamel structure is under strong functional constraints, the increasing …

Ribozymes are small RNA structures capable of cleaving RNA target molecules in a catalytic
fashion. Designed ribozymes can be targeted to specific mRNAs, blocking their expression …

Maxillary and mandibular incisors of mice aged 5 wk were sectioned and ground along
various planes, acidetched and observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The …

The study aimed at finding an optimal combination of acid concentration and etching time
when nitric acid is used as etchant for the study of the finer details of human dental enamel …

In the field of dentistry, the murine incisor has long been considered as an outstanding
model to study amelogenesis. However, it clearly appears that enamel from wild type mouse …
