Morphogenesis of Mandibular Dental Arch Shape in Human Embryos

Changes in shape of the mandibular dental arch were demonstrated in a developmentally representative sample of human embryos. Each reconstructed arch was described in terms of a conformance to a reference geometric curve; ie, catenary. Cross-sectional sample trends showed that the initial dental lamina is anteroposteriorly flattened during the sixth week and begins a progressive elongation and conformance to the catenary curve in 8½-week embryos.Peer Reviewedhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/66695/2/10.1177_00220345680470012701.pd

Adjacency Effects in Developmental Correlations Among Tooth Organs in Human Fetuses

This study explores whether the "distance gradient" model shown for embryonic development and postnatal tooth growth is also characteristic of the fetal period. Histologic data and ratings from 26 human fetuses show that, unlike the embryonic and postnatal periods, changes occurring in two tooth germs are significantly alike, regardless of the number of intervening teeth.Peer Reviewedhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/67281/2/10.1177_00220345810600021401.pd
