Effect of cigarette smoking on human PDL fibroblasts attachment to periodontally involved root surfaces in vitro
Gamal, Ahmed; Bayomy, Mohammed M;
Abstract
Cigarette smoking is one of the most significant risk factors in the development and further advancement of inflammatory periodontal disease. However, no study has been performed to investigate the effect of smoking on the attachment of human periodontal ligament fibroblasts to either periodontally diseased or healthy roots. The present study was conducted to evaluate the attachment of fibroblasts derived from healthy human periodontal ligament (PDL) to periodontally diseased root surfaces of smokers.
