Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Amela Tulek"
- Amela Tulek's recent research focuses on the etiology and impacts of dental erosion, utilizing both animal models and genetic studies to explore the underlying mechanisms and contributing factors of this multifactorial condition.
- Her findings emphasize the influence of external factors such as dietary habits, salivary function, and the mechanical properties of restorative materials under erosive conditions on dental health.
- Additionally, Tulek investigates genetic predispositions linked to erosive tooth wear, with a particular interest in loci on the X chromosome and the role of microRNAs in regulating enamel development and susceptibility to erosion.
