Abstract

The Wnt signaling pathway,including the canonical and the non-canonical,is a conservative pathway which participates in organ development and tissue metabolism.The canonical Wnt pathway plays an important role in osteogenesis,bone formation and mineralization through the osteogenesis associated transcription factors.The canonical Wnt pathway also regulates osteogenic differentiation of the stem cells in the periodontal tissue and the regulative effect is influenced by the microenvironment.Understanding of the canonical Wnt pathway will contribute to the treatment of some related bone diseases. Key words: The canonical Wnt pathway; Osteogenesis; Periodontium; Treatment
