OPG knockout mouse teeth display reduced alveolar bone mass and hypermineralization in enamel and dentin.

Abstract excerpt

Recent studies showed that local injection or upregulation of OPG gene would result in early temporal retardation of tooth development. It was assumed that this retardation might cause defective tooth mineralization and pulp formation as the long-term effects. However, since those OPG treatments were transient, any possible long-term effects of OPG addition could not be assessed previously. In the present study,...
