Alveolar bone formation during periodontitis progression. A Osteoid formation in mice with periodontitis. (control group; D7 n = 8, D14 n = 8, D28 n = 10, and periodontitis group; D7 n = 8, D14 n = 9, D28 n = 11). B Representative images on day 28 and the Runx2 expression (control group; D7 n = 8, D14 n = 6, D28 n = 8, and periodontitis group; D7 n = 7, D14 n = 10, D28 n = 8). Black arrowheads indicate representative Runx2-positive osteoblasts. Scale bar = 50 μm. C Representative images on day 28 and the OCN expression (control group; D7 n = 5, D14 n = 5, D28 n = 5, and periodontitis group; D7 n = 7, D14 n = 7, D28 n = 7). Black arrowheads indicate representative OCN-positive osteoblasts. Scale bar = 50 μm. Data are presented as the mean ± SE. *p < 0.05 versus control. #p < 0.017 versus days. No, number; OCN, osteocalcin; PDL, periodontal ligament
