Abstract: During the process of permanent teeth replacing primary teeth, the pulp tissue of deciduous teeth gradually decreases, which relates to the apoptosis of dental pulp tissue. Cysteine-containing aspartate-specific protease (Caspase) plays an important role in cell apoptosis. This article summarizes the apoptosis of dental pulp tissue and the role played by Caspase family in the process of physiological root resorption of deciduous teeth.

Key words: deciduous teeth, apoptosis, Caspase
