Relevance of Topographic Parameters on the Adhesion and Proliferation of Human Gingival Fibroblasts and Oral Bacterial Strains

Figure 6

Ratio of fibroblasts proliferation, after 60 minutes of contact, to the number of bacteria of S. mutans, S. sanguinis, and A. actinomycetemcomitans in the projected area on the test surfaces. One set of samples was in contact with artificial saliva only and the other, with natural saliva. Different letters between data show statistical differences (ANOVA p<0.05).
