In Vitro Stimulation of Human Gingival Epithelial Cell Attachment to Dentin by Surface Conditioning

Abstract

These results suggest that minocycline-HCl does not exert a direct effect on human gingival epithelial cells. In contrast, conditioning the dentin by citric acid or by minocycline stimulates the attachment of HGK, which could lead to a rapid periodontal healing by favoring the re-formation of a junctional epithelium.
