It can promote the formation of bone and collagen fibers. Periostin plays a very important role in the process of cap stage, bell stage, and tooth eruption, especially in the repair and regeneration of periodontal ligament. Periostin is also an impormant local promoting factor in bone and periodontal tissue reconstruction under mechanical sterss. The present paper reviews the related development of periostin reserach on the function of periodontal ligament
