  • p63 has been demonstrated to localize in stem cells and precursor cells of various epithelial tissues previously, but the localization of p63 throughout tooth formation, particularly during the enamel and root formation stages, remains to be adequately characterized. Therefore, in this study, we have demonstrated, via immunohistochemical methods, that p63 is ubiquitously expressed in the dental epithelium during tooth development. p63 was detected in the basal and suprabasal layers of the epithelia, including the skin, hair follicles, oral mucosa, and submandibular ducts. However, in the tooth region, all cells of the dental lamina, enamel organ, Hertwig's epithelial root sheath (HERS), and epithelial cell rests of Malassez (ERM) evidenced immunoreactivity for p63. These results indicate that p63 may perform different roles, other than stem cell maintenance, in tooth development.

  • Enamel knot (EK)-a signaling center-refers to a transient morphological structure comprising epithelial tissue. EK is believed to regulate tooth development in early organogenesis without its own cellular alterations, including proliferation and differentiation. EKs show a very simple but conserved structure and share functions with teeth of recently evolved vertebrates, suggesting conserved signaling in certain organs, such as functional teeth, through the course of evolution. In this study, we examined the expression patterns of key EK-specific genes including Dusp26, Fat4, Meis2, Sln, and Zpld1 during mice embryogenesis. Expression patterns of these genes may reveal putative differentiation mechanisms underlying tooth morphogenesis.

  • Laser means "Light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation". Laser have unique characteristics according to wavelength. Wavelenth of Waterlase is 2780nm and it can be absorbed to water and hydroxyapatite. When laser is applied to some material, its temperature goes up due to laser's energy. But in dental treatment high temperature is not good for teeth. High temperature can make dental pulp and bone necrosis. Waterlase can be absorbed to water droplet, so when it burst, it can cut soft and hard tissue without raising temperature. so it is so proper to dental treatment.

  • Root resorption is loss of dental hard tissue as a result of clastic activities. The dental hard tissue of permanent teeth does not normally undergo resorption, except in cases of inflammation or trauma. However, there are rare cases of tooth resorption of an unknown cause, known as "idiopathic root resorption". This report would discuss a rare case of multiple idiopathic resorption in the permanent maxillary and mandibular teeth of an otherwise healthy 36-year-old male patient. In addition to a clinical examination, the patient was imaged using conventional radiography and cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). The examinations revealed multiple external and internal resorption of the teeth in all four quadrants of the jaws with an unknown cause. Multiple root resorption is a rare clinical phenomenon that should be examined using different radiographic modalities. Cross-sectional CBCT is useful in the diagnosis and examination of such lesions.

  • Identification of blood group from dental hard tissue for the purpose of individual identification of a highly burned corpse would play a significant role in a practical legal medicine. The author conducted a study of blood group with teeth left stading at a high temperature by the method of elution test. The following results were obtained. 1. The blood identifcation from heated dental hard tissue proved to be possible. 2. In cases of heat-treated theeth at $100^{\circ}C$ for 120 minutes, at $150^{\circ}C$ for 120 minutes and at $200^{\circ}C$ for 45 minutes for A.B.O(H) blood group, the identification of blood group was possible. 3. In case of heat-treated teeth, thermostability of blood group was found to be $150^{\circ}C$. 4. The adequate surface area for the detection of blood group was 40-80 meshes.
