[The influence of basement membrane matrix on the attachment of human gingival epithelial cell to titanium: a scanning electron microscopic study].
In order to investigate the factors which could enhance the integrity of the biological seal between implant and epithelial cells, basement membrane matrigel was coated on the surface of smooth pure titanium. SEM observations showed that the spreading of primary cultured human gingival epithelial cells on Matrigel coated titanium surface was better than that of control groups on the third and the sixth day. This result suggests that the attachment of human gingival epithelial cells to titanium can be enhanced by the basement membrane matrigel.
