Periostin, a kind of matricellular protein highly expressed in periodontal ligament and periosteum, is an important regulator of the integrity of periodontal ligament and periodontitis processes. Periostin has been shown to play a positive role in the recovery of periodontitis. This paper reviews relevant literature about the role of periostin in periodontal tissue and periodontitis.
