Cell viability, proliferation index, and alkaline phosphatase activity. (a) Cell viability incubated with the extraction fluids of CSH and Mg/CSH composite specimens after 2, 4, 6, and 8 days; (b) proliferation index cultured on CSH and Mg/CSH composite specimens after 24, 48, and 72 h; (c) ALP activity of cells cultured on CSH and Mg/CSH composite specimens after 7, 14, 21, and 24 days. indicates that the cell viability and proliferation index of Mg/CSH composite specimens were significantly different from those of CSH (). The bars on the graphs are standard deviations. Mg: magnesium; CSH: calcium sulfate hemihydrate; ALP: alkaline phosphatase.
