Proteome Expression in Human Periodontal Ligament after Delayed Hypothermic Preservation

Vimentin was the most prominent protein followed by type VI collagen in volumetrically maintained protein spots. Although these proteins are known to be closely related with ECM integrity, the role of these proteins in delayed replantation is beyond the scope of this study. Further studies are needed to elucidate the possible role of these proteins for periodontal healing of delayed replantation.
