| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The expression of MT1 and MT2 melatonin receptor was confirmed in the odontoblasts of the control group. In addition, the expression of MT1 was stronger than that of MT2. A strong expression of MT1 was detected in the odontoblasts in the melatonin-treated groups. In the melatonin-treated groups, the height of odontoblasts was high and the number of odontoblasts increased. The number and size of calcospherites in predentin increased in proportion to the concentration of melatonin. The crystallinity and orientation of apatite crystal in dentin were improved by administration of melatonin. The odontoblasts were activated by melatonin, and the secretion of collagen fibers was promoted. Melatonin administration changed the behavior of Ca and P concentration in serum at night. Melatonin is efficiently incorporated into odontoblasts. The present study suggests that melatonin changed the blood composition in the body and influenced the structure, calcification, and crystallinity of dentin.
