Revolutionary Dental Impression Method for Vertebrates Redefines Research Possibilities

Posted: January 1, 2025
The article introduces a non-destructive method for obtaining high-resolution dental impressions from a wide range of vertebrates, allowing for in-vivo studies and capturing whole-mouth morphology. This innovative approach enables the observation of detailed dental features, microwear, tooth replacement rates, and morphological changes over time. The method involves using a customizable and printable dental impression tray, as demonstrated on the Polypterus senegalus fish. It revolutionizes dental research by providing a tool for comparative morphology and studying chronological changes in dental traits across species.
