Considerable phenotypic heterogeneity has been reported in gingival fibroblasts. Similarly, cells from the periodontal ligament (PDL) can be isolated with different phenotypes. Although it has been suggested that cells from the gingiva do not contribute to the formation of hard tissue, it is theoretically possible that under appropriate stimuli, immature mesenchymal cells in gingiva could differentiate along an...
