Abstract excerpt
While cementoblasts express a number of mineral-related proteins, including bone sialoprotein (BSP), osteopontin (OPN) and osteocalcin (OC), these proteins do not appear to be expressed by cells of the intermediate dental follicle/periodontal ligament (PDL). This information was utilized in an ex...
