In vitro interaction between gingival fibroblasts and various root surfaces.

K Nishimura, K Takada, Y Noguchi

    Journal of Electron Microscopy
    |January 1, 1989
    PubMed
    Summary

    Root surface texture significantly impacts gingival fibroblast attachment. Rougher surfaces like demineralized dentin and curetted cementum promote better cell adhesion compared to smooth, planed dentin.

    Area of Science:

    • Biomaterials Science
    • Cell Biology
    • Periodontology

    Background:

    • Gingival fibroblast attachment is crucial for periodontal health and regeneration.
    • Understanding root surface properties influencing cell behavior is vital for effective periodontal therapy.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate how different root surface treatments affect initial gingival fibroblast attachment in vitro.
    • To correlate root surface morphology with fibroblast adhesion and spreading.

    Main Methods:

    • In vitro study using cultured human gingival fibroblasts.
    • Application of various root surface treatments: citric acid demineralization, superficial cementum curettage, and root planing.
    • Microscopic evaluation of fibroblast attachment, spreading, and morphology.

    Main Results:

    • Fibroblasts exhibited excellent spreading and attachment on demineralized dentin, curetted cementum, and root surfaces with periodontal ligament.
    • Poor fibroblast spreading was observed on planed dentin.
    • Rougher root surfaces correlated with well-developed filopodia and enhanced cell attachment.

    Conclusions:

    • Root surface texture is a critical factor in initial gingival fibroblast attachment.
    • Demineralized and curetted root surfaces, despite artificial alteration, support superior fibroblast adhesion.
    • Further fibroblast-mediated alterations of treated root surfaces may occur.
