John D. Bartlett

John D. Bartlett studies how tooth enamel forms, focusing on the proteins and genes that control this process in the outer layer of teeth. His work uses mouse genetic models and imaging techniques to examine enzymes like MMP20 and ADAM10, proteins such as amelogenin, and how factors like fluoride affect enamel-forming cells (ameloblasts). This research is relevant to understanding developmental dental disorders such as amelogenia imperfecta, where enamel does not form properly.

Publication output has been fairly steady over the last decade, fluctuating between about 2 and 8 papers per year with no clear long-term increase or decrease.
