Forty years after the first effort to extract mummy DNA, researchers have finally generated a full genome sequence from an ...

Humans tend to find that their final four molars, or wisdom teeth, erupt between the ages of 17 and 21. Wisdom teeth grow through your gums, which can be painful in itself.

In prehistoric communities across what is now northeastern Europe, decorative ornaments with animal teeth were a regular ...

Llamas are cute, but what makes them even better human companions is their gentleness and empathy. People from their native ...

We looked at fossil teeth from hominins (humans and our closest extinct relatives) from the Omo Valley in Ethiopia, where we can see traces of more than two million years of human evolution, as well ...

The new study is "groundbreaking," says Emory University's George Armelagos, who has studied changing rates of tooth decay. "I've been looking at paleopathology (ancient diseases) for 50 years ...

Though the results are promising, they likely won’t lead to usable tooth constructs for humans just yet. The teeth that did grow in the mini pigs didn’t reach a full human tooth size and ...

Rare microbiomes from two 4000-year-old teeth could help scientists further understand the impact dietary changes had on the evolution of a cavity-causing bacteria.

Alternatively, early-stage tooth cells would be placed directly into a patient’s jaw where they could continue developing. Mr Zhang added: ‘We have different ideas to put the teeth inside the ...

The team says that humans have a third set of teeth available as buds, ready to grow as needed. A sliver of what makes sharks so intriguing comes with their ability to regrow teeth.

Tufts University researchers took material from human and pig teeth and were able to grow a tooth-like structure. They hope their findings could lead to growing living tooth replacements for people.
