Abstract

The intricate and protracted process of dentin formation has been extensively explored, thanks to the significant advancements facilitated by the use of animal models and related techniques. Despite variations in their effectiveness, taking into account factors such as sensitivity, visibility, and reliability, these models or techniques are indispensable tools for investigating the complexities of dentin formation. This article focuses on the latest advances in animal models and related technologies, shedding light on the key molecular mechanisms that are essential in dentin formation. A deeper understanding of this phenomenon enables the careful selection of appropriate animal models, considering their suitability in unraveling the underlying molecular intricacies. These insights are crucial for the advancement of clinical drugs targeting dentin-related ailments and the development of comprehensive treatment strategies throughout the duration of the disease.
