Welcome

We study how teeth and other craniofacial structures

form, grow and regenerate.

  • Tooth development is controlled by interactions mediated by growth factors.
  • The mouse incisor is a unique tooth that grows continuously due to the presence of adult stem cells.
  • Mouse mutants provide a system for the study of human dental and craniofacial abnormalities.
