Bovine Pericardium Membrane and Periodontal Guided Tissue Regeneration: A SEM Study

摘要

Objective: The purpose of this study is to establish bovine pericardium membrane as a suitable barrier material for periodontal guided tissue.Study Design: This study is designed to investigate the in-vitro interaction between bovine pericardium membrane and primary cells for periodontal regeneration, human periodontal ligament fibroblasts.Methods: Bovine pericardium membrane was seeded with HPDLFs and the attachment was studied using Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) at 4, 8 and 12 hours.Results: HPDLFs gained attachment to the bovine pericardium membrane within 4-8 hours exhibiting a transition from round to flattened shape along with the production of definitive cytoplasmic processes.Conclusion: The tests were able to put fourth evidence in favor of a healthy interaction between bovine pericardium membrane and periodontal ligament fibroblasts.
