Abstract
Weight gain induced a delay in bone repair after tooth extraction. The increase in the number of TRAP-positive cells observed in the extraction site seems to be mediated by the reduction in the expression of OPG rather than an overexpression of RANKL. In addition, the late expression of VEGF in the weight gain group might have delayed osteoblast migration and differentiation.
