Cell proliferation in bone marrow following surgical extraction of teeth: a pilot study.
Extraction of teeth in rats was found to stimulate increased mitotic activity in bone marrow for 2 days after extraction. The cause of this increased mitosis might be release from the extraction site of kinins, factors which are known to stimulate mitosis in the bone marrow or a general whole-body response to trauma.
