Genetics Plays A Key Role In A Person's Overall Health. But
Genetics Also Could Determine How our Teeth Develop. Tooth
Development Is Under Strict Genetic Control, And During Recent
Years An Increasing Number Of Genes Have Been Identified That Are
Involved In The Regulation Of Tooth Morphogenesis. During the last
15 years various scientists have started to understand tooth
development at the gene level. The list of genes known to regulate
the position, shape, or number of teeth is lengthening rapidly.
There are dozens of different genes, which together form
complicated signaling networks. The defects in several human
conditions affecting tooth development have been identified
recently, and these genes have turned out to be necessary component
of signaling networks. .This book compiles an overview of
odontogenesis, genetics of tooth development, genes and their
transcription factors involved in tooth development, genes
expressed during tooth development, role of genes at each stage of
tooth development, like at initiation, patterning, budding,
regulation of tooth shape, development of cusp patterns, and
genetic defects in tooth development.
Radiographic imaging is an important adjunct to the clinical
assessment, diagnosis, treatment planning and follow-up of the
dental patient. CBCT is by far the most exciting innovation in the
domain of radiographic imagings in the past decade. It promises
much in the form of accuracy, diagnosis and ease of use. CBCT has
created a paradigm shift for the dental profession.The time has
come for all dentists to embrace the new era of 3-D dental
radiology with CBCT. This book provides a detail account of Cone
Beam CT scan, its uses and implications in the field of paediatric
dentistry.
