    According to a study conducted by the UZH Dental Medical Center, mutations in a certain molecule can cause serious damage
    to the enamel structure and mineral composition of mice tooth.


    Enamel is the hardest organic tissue in nature
    .


    Focus on the study of Adam10 molecules

    A team of researchers from the Dental Medical Center of the University of Zurich has now discovered for the first time a key gene network
    that causes severe enamel defects.


    Defects in enamel structure and mineral composition

    Scientists were able to show a strong link
    between impaired Adam 10/Notch function and tooth enamel defects.


    New avenues of prevention and treatment

    Mitsiadis said understanding the genetic code that governs tooth development, understanding the molecular connections in the process of enamel formation, and the effects of mutations that lead to enamel malformations opens up new horizons
    in the field of prevention and treatment.
