Control group (n = 20) shows intense DSP immunoreactivity (10×/scale = 100 µm) (a), (20×/scale = 50 µm) (b). Group treated with Celecoxib (n = 20) showed mild inhibition of DSP protein compared to control (10×/scale = 100 µm) (c), (20×/scale = 50 µm) (d), while Indomethacin-treated group (n = 20) showed more intense expression than celecoxib-treated group (n = 20) (20×/scale = 50 µm) (e), (20×/scale = 50 µm) (f). Graphical representation of immunostaining quantification of DSP protein synthesis using image deconvolution- median and interquartile range (g). A: ameloblasts, E: enamel layer, D: dentin layer.
