Effect of Magnesium on Dentinogenesis of Human Dental Pulp Cells

Figure 2

Histogram showing proliferation rates of normal human dental pulp cells in media with supplemental Mg²⁺ concentrations. Note: normal human dental pulp cells were cultured with media containing supplemental Mg²⁺concentrations 0.5 mM, 1 mM, 2 mM, 4 mM, and 8 mM and 0 mM as the control group for time periods of 3, 7, 10, 14, and 21 days. Folds were calculated by dividing the cell numbers at each time interval by the seeded cell number for each condition. Cell number was calculated by using optical density measurement results dividing the constant number (per million cells’ optical density). The data are presented as means of six replicates with error bars indicating the standard deviation. Groups labeled with different letters differ statistically as compared to the control group and other study groups ().
