Abstract excerpt
Gingival fibroblasts are particularly involved in the physiologic maintenance and repair of periodontium. During these processes, cell proliferation and synthesis of a collagen-rich gingival matrix should be controlled. A dextran derivative, namely, carboxy methyl dextran benzylamide sulfonate (C...
