Teeth and bones are frequently the only sources of DNA available for identification of
degraded or fragmented human remains. The unique composition of teeth and their location …

Dentin is the most voluminous structural component of human tooth. Dentin protects pulp
tissue from microbial and other noxious stimuli. It also provides essential support to enamel …

The hard X‐ray beamline BAMline at BESSY II (Berlin, Germany) has now been in service
for 20 years. Several improvements have been implemented in this time, and this review …

Methods for imaging of nanocomposites based on X-ray, electron, tunneling or force
microscopy provide information about the shapes of nanoparticles; however, all of these …

Dentine, the main material of mammalian teeth, contains mineral platelets that are
embedded in a collagen fiber mesh. These particles entail stiffness and longevity, which is …

Hard dental tissues possess a complex hierarchical structure that is particularly evident in
enamel, the most mineralised substance in the human body. Its complex and interlinked …

Living organisms are adept at resisting contact deformation and damage by assembling
protective surfaces with spatially varied mechanical properties, ie, by creating functionally …

The increased prevalence and affordability of 3D scanning technology is beginning to have
significant effects on the research questions and approaches available for studies of …

OBJECTIVE: Conventional dental composites with randomly dispersed inorganic particles
within a polymer matrix fail to recapitulate the aligned and anisotropic structure of the dentin …

The tough bulk of dentin in teeth supports enamel, creating cutting and grinding
biostructures with superior failure resistance that is not fully understood. Synchrotron-based …
