Establishment of immortalized periodontal ligament progenitor cell line and its behavioural analysis on smooth and rough titanium surface
14 May 2010
Abstract excerpt
Periodontal ligament (PDL) can be obtained from patients undergoing orthodontic treatment. PDL contains progenitor cells that can be expanded and differentiated towards several mesenchymal lineages in vitro. Furthermore, PDL-derived cells have been shown to generate bone- and PDL-like structures in vivo. Thus, PDL cells, combined with suitable biomaterials, represent a promising tool for periodontitis-related...
