A doctor who had a genetic condition that prevents teeth from forming searched for the DNA mutation that had affected his family for over 150 years.

The interaction between genetics and tissue environment shapes how individual teeth form in different regions of the jaw. While most experimental studies have focused on mandibular (lower jaw) teeth, ...

For most of human history, straight, well spaced teeth were the norm, not a luxury that required years of metal and elastic bands. Archaeologists routinely lift ancient skulls from the ground and find ...
