Figure 3

Initial adhesion of PDL cells on polymer surfaces after 1 h. (a) The number of adherent PDL cells on polymer surfaces. Polymers: PET, PMEA, PHEMA, and PMPC. versus PMEA, mean ± standard deviation, . (b) SEM images of PDL cells on polymer surfaces. Top scale bars: 10 μm, bottom scale bars: 1.0 μm. Polymers: PET, PMEA, and PHEMA. White circles indicate pseudopodia formation. White arrows indicate spike formation.
