Methylation modification is one of the most common epigenetic modification regulation in eukaryotes, including histone methylation, DNA methylation, RNA methylation, etc., which plays an important regulatory role in physiological processes and pathologic occurrence and development. Tooth root development is carried out by both epithelial and mesenchymal cells and involves a variety of cell-molecular interactions. In recent years, a large number of studies have found that methylation plays a key role in the regulation of tooth root development and expands the mechanism network of tooth root development. In this paper, we review the role and mechanism of methylation modification during root development.
