Assessment of human gingival fibroblast interaction with dental implant abutment materials

Abstract: The biocompatibility of dental implant abutment materials depends on numerous factors including the nature of the material, its chemical composition, roughness, texture, hydrophilicity and surface charge. The aim of the present study was to compare the viability and adhesion strength of human gingival fibroblasts (HGFs) grown on several dental materials used in implant prosthodontics. Surfaces of the tested materials were assessed using an optical imaging profiler. For material toxicity and cellular adhesion e… Show more

“…Vinculin is a cytoskeletal protein involved in formation of focal adhesion [35], and for this reason we aimed to quantitatively and qualitatively analyse it. Previous studies have indicated conflicting results with respect to HGFs' expression of vinculin [20,36,37].…”

“…Previous studies have indicated conflicting results with respect to HGFs' expression of vinculin. 20,36,37 Since the effect of the experimental implantoplasty treatment on the fibroblast growth was limited beyond day 6 in the present study, the analyses of cytokine secretion to the cell medium was performed at the two earliest time points only. Also the DB and CB sequences were left out of the Luminex analysis since these rendered the roughest surfaces of the experimental implantoplasty treatments, and would therefore not be considered in a clinical setting.…”

“…FAK is a vital non-receptor tyrosine kinase that regulates cell adhesion signaling and mechanosensing. 53 Vinculin is a key regulator of adhesion strength and cell migration. 54 FAK gene expression in HGFs was increased in all three experimental groups when compared with the control group, particularly on ZrO 2 -P/C (p < 0.01) and ZrO 2 -P (p < 0.05).…”
