title: An insight into the regulatory mechanisms of cells involved in resorption of dental hard tissues.
abstract: Dental resorptions constitute a challenge to dentistry due to the complexity of cellular and molecular biology. The various cells involved in resorption, collectively orchestrate the interplay between various cytokines, hormones, enzymes, and hard tissues influencing the progression of resorption. The concern and curiosity on this subject are not new. This paper attempts to review the various regulatory mechanisms of cells involved in resorption of mineralized dental tissues.
