Abstract: proach change of CGRP with time in periodontal ligaments of rats in magnetic field, maxillae of 28 Wistar rats of 6 7 weeks were placed in magnetic fields of permanent magnets Nd 2 Fe 4 B. Changes of CGRP with t ime in maxillary periodontal ligaments of the rats were studied by immunohistochemistry. The result showed that: magnetic field had dynamic effect and some promotional effect on recove?E F F E C T O F M A G N E T I C F I E L D O N C A L C I T O N I N G E N E- R E L A T E D P E P T I D E I N P E R I O D O N T A L L I G A M E N T S O F R A T S X.
