Abstract excerpt
Human gingival fibroblasts were cultured in vitro using as substrates an extracellular matrix (matrix) and polytetrafluoride (PTFE) membranes, which are used in guided tissue regeneration. To test the degree of biocompatibility of these membranes, the cellular proliferation and the accumulation o...
