A study on the attachment of human gingival cell structures to oral implant materials

Int J Prosthodont. 1991 Nov-Dec;4(6):543-7.

Abstract

A technique enabling the study of adherence occurring among implant materials and epithelial and connective cells cultured in vitro and freshly obtained from explants of human gingival tissue is described. The data show that cell adherence to titanium alloy is influenced by the modality of implant surface preparation.
