Investigating Postnatal Stress Effects on Dental Enamel Formation in a Murine Model

Posted: December 20, 2024
The study protocol investigates the impact of postnatal maternal separation stress on dental enamel formation in a murine model. Dental enamel development, primarily composed of hydroxyapatite, can be influenced by genetic, nutritional, and environmental factors, leading to defects like hypomineralization. Molar incisor hypomineralization poses a public health challenge with complex etiology factors. The study aims to explore how postnatal stress can affect enamel formation through detailed assessments of structure, mechanical properties, and molecular changes. Dental professionals will gain insights into the potential effects of stress on enamel biomineralization.
