- Title
Purification and characterization of a novel growth factor from cementum.
- Authors

- Abstract
Recent studies have shown that cementum contains substances that influence the migration, attachment and growth of periodontal cells and their matrix synthesis. The article characterized the growth factors present in cementum and isolated a species that appears to be different from other mitogens. Cementum was obtained from healthy human teeth and from the teeth of two year-old animals of the bovine species. The article indicates that cementum has the potential to regulate the metabolism and turnover of surrounding tissues, although how its components are released from the matrix is not clear.
