The chemical and topographic effects of commercially pure titanium on cell morphology and the regulation of matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) gene expression, synthesis, and activity were investigated in early passage human gingival fibroblasts. Scanning electron microscopy showed that on smooth ti

## Abstract Attachment of connective tissue to dental implants, which is influenced by surface topography, is an important determinant of implant success. Approaches employed to alter topography include acid etching or blasting to produce roughened surfaces, and production of precisely defined topo
The ability of human fibroblasts to remove and reorganize fibronectin (FN) bound on material surfaces was studied as a novel feature of material surface biocompatibility. Other traditional parameters of biocompatibility analyzed included cell spreading, clustering of fibronectin receptors into focal
## Abstract Various __in vitro__ studies have shown induction of apoptosis by monomers incorporated to dental restorative materials and adhesive resins, while information regarding the effect of monomer combinations as commercially available products on apopotis is limited. The aim of this study wa
