Abstract
Aim: Odontogenesis is a complex and highly regulated biological process that involves a range of molecular mechanisms. Among these, Ki67 and Cyclin D1 are crucial cell cycle regulators that play pivotal roles in controlling cell proliferation during tooth development. This study aims to provide detailed insights into the expression patterns and functional significance of Ki67 and Cyclin D1 in tooth development. Through rigorous analysis, we seek to elucidate the intricate mechanisms underlying tooth development, helping to advance our understanding of this vital biological process.
Materials & methods: The procurement of rabbit tooth germ was performed only after obtaining the requisite ethical clearance. Subsequently, the tissues were processed and subjected to Hematoxylin and Eosin staining to facilitate enhanced visualization of the overall tissue architecture and organization & immunohistochemical staining of Ki-67 and Cyclin D1 was performed.
Results: In the tooth germ, cyclin D1 demonstrated intense staining in the dental papilla, especially in the membrana preformativa, with this intensity decreasing following predentin formation. Odontoblasts showed mild staining as they transitioned from pre-odontoblasts, which further diminished after dentin formation. Both the dental papilla and differentiating odontoblasts were positive for Ki67, though Ki67 staining in the odontoblasts reduced after dentin formation.
Conclusion: In conclusion, the membrana preformativa plays a key role in odontogenesis, as indicated by its involvement in cellular proliferation and differentiation during tooth development.
期刊介绍：
Journal of Oral Biology and Craniofacial Research (JOBCR)is the official journal of the Craniofacial Research Foundation (CRF). The journal aims to provide a common platform for both clinical and translational research and to promote interdisciplinary sciences in craniofacial region. JOBCR publishes content that includes diseases, injuries and defects in the head, neck, face, jaws and the hard and soft tissues of the mouth and jaws and face region; diagnosis and medical management of diseases specific to the orofacial tissues and of oral manifestations of systemic diseases; studies on identifying populations at risk of oral disease or in need of specific care, and comparing regional, environmental, social, and access similarities and differences in dental care between populations; diseases of the mouth and related structures like salivary glands, temporomandibular joints, facial muscles and perioral skin; biomedical engineering, tissue engineering and stem cells. The journal publishes reviews, commentaries, peer-reviewed original research articles, short communication, and case reports.
