Preface
Odontogenesis is the complex process by which embryonic cells differentiate into oral
epithelia-derived ameloblasts that secrete enamel and cranial neural crest‐derived
mesenchyme, which form odontoblasts that produce dentin and cementoblasts that make
cementum.Differentapproachesareappliedtostudygeneticandenvironmentalregulatory
controls on odontogenesis that can have dramatic influences on dental phenotypes and
genotypes observed during normaldevelopment and diseases. Thedifferent methods used
haveadvantagesandlimitations,andthisbookaimstoserveasaguidetofuturegeneration
of researchers working in the exciting field of odontogenesis. This book is divided into
6partsandcontainsatotalof41chapters.
PartIisfocusedontheestablishmentofdentalcelllinesandanimalmodelsthatserveas
tools to understand the genetic and environmental controls of tooth development. Using
these models, researchers can further enhance our understanding on how signaling mole-
culescontrolallstepsoftoothformationbycoordinatingcellproliferation,differentiation,
apoptosis, extracellular matrix synthesis, and mineral deposition. Chapters in this part
include protocols for isolation and characterization of both epithelial and mesenchymal
dental cells, establishment of stable cell lines, as well as in vivo cell lineage tracing and
classicaltissuerecombinationassaysusingthekidneycapsulemodel.
PartIIisfocusedondentalstemcellsanddentaltissueregeneration.Toothloss,caused
by dental diseases, trauma, or aging, is usually replaced by artificial materials which lack
many of the important biological characteristics of the natural tooth. Understanding the
mechanismsofstemcelldifferentiationtowarddentalphenotypesmayprovidethenecessary
foundation that will lead to novel approaches for dental tissue regeneration and stem cell
therapies in the future. Methods described in this part will help researchers to further
elucidate the complex interactions and necessary conditions driving dental cell differentia-
tion.Chaptersinthispartdetailmethodsonisolation,phenotypiccharacterization,expan-
sion,anddifferentiationprotocolsfordentalstemcellsaswellasnovelapproachesfortissue

gels.Italsocontainsaprotocoltostudyreparativedentinogenesisinvivo.
Part III is centered around methods to characterize gene and protein expression in
dentalcellsandtissues.Newgenesandtheirfunctionsarecontinuouslybeingdiscoveredin
experimental studies using cell lines and animal models. This part provides the necessary
knowledgeforsuccessfullymappingRNAandproteinexpressionindentaltissues.Detailed
protocolsonimmunofluorescence,insituhybridization,immunohistochemistry(including
co-localization), and the use of LNA probes for detection of low amounts of RNA are
provided.Protocolsforsilver-albumintissuestainingandisolationofsiblingproteinsfrom

Part V describes dental disease models focusing mainly on protocols to study dental
caries. Dental caries still cause a huge public health burden, and the in vitro and in vivo
modelsincludedheremayhelpindevelopingnewapproachesforprevention,diagnosis,and
treatmentofdentalcaries.Additionalchaptersincludeprotocolsofarodentdentalfluorosis
model and a method for 3D assessment of crown size and eruption space for third molars
allowingtostudytheeffectsoffluorideandthirdmolarimpaction,bothcommonlyseenin
humans.
Part VI overviews protocols on genetics, epigenetics, and clinical studies to provide
foundation for clinical research in dentistry. Whole-genome linkage analysis, association
analysis of putative candidate genes, and whole-genome association approaches now offer
exciting opportunities to discover new key genes involved in human dental development.
Thispartcontainsprotocolsfornext-generationsequencing,geneticandepigeneticstudies,
and genome-wide association studies as well as clinical protocols for measurement of early
childhood caries and saliva and supragingival fluids and biofilm collection and subsequent
analyses.
Written in the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology™ series format, chapters
includeintroductionstotheirrespectivetopics;listsofthenecessarymaterialsandreagents;
step-by-step, readily reproducible laboratory protocols; and tips for troubleshooting and
avoiding expected pitfalls. Practical and easy-to-use Odontogenesis: Methods and Protocols
aims to guide researchers toward elucidating the secrets and mysteries of a fascinating and
uniqueorgan,thetooth!
Iamverygratefultoallparticipantsandtheircontributionstothisvolume.Weallhope
this book will serve future generations of researchers in the field of odontogenesis in their
pathwaystoexcitingdiscoveries.
