Abstract

We examined immunohistochemical expression of Chromogranin A (CgA) in the mouse dental pulp and the periodontal tissues, which exposed to 3 hours immediate teeth separation. In the experimental group, CgA positive staining products were frequently detected in the periodontal fibroblasts and endothelial cells, and also detected in the dental pulp cells. The positive reactions were stronger than that of control specimens. The data suggests that induced expression was due to the mechanical stress of wedge insertion.
