diastema/retinoic acid

As retinoic acid is an important signaling molecule during embryological development. Since periodontal tissues are thought to have fetal-like properties, the present study was to determine the presence and distribution of cellular retinoic acid-binding protein I(CRABPI) in the periodontal tissues

Endogenous retinoids are present in the embryonic mouse mandible and reach a peak in concentration at the time of the formation of the dental lamina. All-trans retinoic acid is present in a 10-fold higher concentration in the future incisor region of the mouse embryonic mandible at day 11.5. It was

Retinoids have important roles in pattern formation during embryonic development and might act as endogenous morphogens. They are necessary for normal odontogenesis and excess retinol alters the pattern of odontogenesis producing supernumerary buds of the dental lamina in the diastema region of the
