Postnatal day | wt Dentin thickness | DSPP-KO dentin thickness |
---|---|---|
1 | No dentin in 3/6 animals | 27.44±2.83 μma |
6 | 30.11±4.48 μm | 46.78±2.39 μma |
13 | 85.22±4.76 μm | 93.78±20.4 μm N.S. |

Dentin thickness was measured from histological sections stained with hematoxylin and eosin from wt and DSPP KO from postnatal 1–21-day first molars. The dentin thickness from each time point was derived from six samples.
P<0.05 compared with wt dentin thickness.
DSPP, dentin sialophosphoprotein; KO, knockout; N.S., no significant difference; wt, wild-type.
