Molecular Evolution and Genetic Defects of Teeth present original and interesting ideas and new evidence concerning common evolutionary relationships among vertebrate mineralized tissues, and also review recent advances in our understanding of genetic diseases affecting primarily the dentition. These advances are central to our understanding of normal and pathological biomineralization and are important steps in discerning the molecular mechanisms underlying biomineralization in vertebrates.
