Mechanism analysis of periostin in osteoclasts differentiation of dental follicle: Two case reports

Figure 2 Detection of relevant proteins in dental follicle tissue. A: Immunohistochemical staining results of dental follicle tissue from two patients with tooth eruption disorders. The expression of periostin protein increases, while the expression of nuclear factor kappa B ligand and osteoprotegerin protein decreases, and the ratio of nuclear factor kappa B ligand/osteoprotegerin decreases; B: Immunohistochemical results of normal dental follicle tissue in the control group (×200).
