Research Abstract |
The aim of this study was evaluation of the salivary gland regeneration properties of titanium fiber scaffold (TFS) that had been coated with a thin hydroxyapatite (HA) layer. Rat submandibular gland cells seeded on the hydroxyapatite coated scaffold showed higher cell attachment and proliferation activity. But, cell differentiation as well as tissue reconstitution were not seen on that scaffold. To archive tissue reconstitution of salivary gland cell, many kind of factors should be considered in further study.
