Summary

Mandibular first molars from 17-day-old mouse embryos were cultured for 2 and 4 days in alpha-MEM supplemented with 10% newborn bovine serum containing 0.02% ethanol or 0.1, 1.0 or 10 ng/ml 1,25-(OH)2D3. After embedding, every 6th section was stained and mitotic features of inner dental epithelium (IDE) and dental papilla cells (DP) were counted under a light microscope. On the 2nd day, no significant differences were observed in the IDE and DP mitotic indexes among the control, ethanol, and the three vitamin D groups. On the 4th day, the indexes for all groups decreased. But the IDE indexes for all vitamin D groups were significantly different from those for the control (P<0.01) and ethanol (P<0.05) groups, whereas the DP index was significant (P<0.05) only in the 10 ng/ml vitamin D group. The present results suggest that vitamin D3 may have an influence on cell proliferation of IDE and DP in mouse embryonic molarsin vitro.
