An often overlooked feature could give scientists new insight into the lives of ancient primate species. Researchers from North Carolina State University have developed formulas that can calculate the ...

Researchers determine that a primate’s tooth root, and not just its crown, can yield reliable information about body size, but the relationship between root surface area and diet isn’t as clear.

Root caries occur on exposed root surfaces, which are more vulnerable to demineralization than enamel. The prevalence of root caries is rising sharply due to increased tooth retention in an aging ...

Imaging aided in managing a man’s atypical root canal anatomy in which the distobuccal canal of his maxillary second molar was close to the palatal root canal with partially fused roots. The case ...

Researchers have developed formulas that can calculate the body size of a primate based on the root size of its teeth. The formulas could allow researchers to make use of partial and incomplete ...
