Regulatory Effects of Bone Morphogenetic Protein-4 on Tumour Necrosis Factor-Alpha-Induced IL-6 and M-CSF Expression in Cementoblasts.
OBJECTIVE Orthodontically induced root resorption involves the destruction of cementum, and in severe cases, dentine. Cementoblasts are cells responsible for depositing and mineralizing cementum, and they can also communicate with osteoclasts to indirectly regulate cementum destruction. This study aimed to elucidate th...
