Immunohistochemical Observation of Osterix Appearing in the Mouse Orthodontic Periodontal Tissues

Abstract

The purpose of the study is to investigate the expression of Osterix in the mouse orthodontic periodontal tissues using Waldo method. Immunohistochemecally in the control group, without experimental orthodontic mechanical stress, there was almost negative and/or quietly weekly positive reactions in the periodontal tissues. In the experimental group after 9 hours, orthodontic tension sties react positively. The positive reactions became stronger over time. The result suggest that Osterix expression in the orthodontic periodontal tension sides act as one of the key factors of osteagenic cell differentiatim.
