Abstract

Gene expression controls the cellular differentiation and morphogenesis for body organisation. Every species has different and unique body patterns and this is influenced by certain group of genes called as homeobox genes. Molecular events are involved in the tooth development process or odontogenesis and this is also controlled by homeobox genes. It was first identified in fruit fly Drosophila Melanogaster.
 

Keywords: Homeobox genes, Tooth development, Odontogenesis, Tooth morphogenesis
