Abstract excerpt
We examined the possibility that periodontal ligament (PDL) cells can differentiate into osteoblasts and/or cementoblasts in freshly isolated PDL tissues and in cultured cells derived from PDL. PDL tissues were obtained from the incisor teeth of bovine lower jaws; gingival connective tissues of the same animals were used as controls. Freshly isolated PDL tissues and cultured PDL cells showed an intense alkaline...
