Expression of Substance P, Calcitonin Gene-Related Peptide and Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor in human dental pulp under different clinical stimuli
Abstract:Background To quantify the expression of SP, CGRP, and VEGF in human dental pulps as a response to occlusal trauma, moderate orthodontic forces, and occlusal trauma plus moderate orthodontic forces simultaneously.Methods Forty human dental pulp samples were collected from healthy premolars indicated for extraction for orthodontic reasons in 20 patients.
