Abstract
The purpose of the present study was to examine with scanning electron microscopy gingival epithelial cells grown in cell culture on tooth enamel, glass, Vitallium, titanium and vitreous carbon. SGL (Smulow-Glickman) gingival epithelial cells were grown for 5 days and processed using a critical point drying apparatus. Scanning electron microscopy carried out at X 1500 magnification revealed that the gingival epithelial cells gres equally well on all materials on either smooth or rough (sand-blasted) surfaces.Keywords
