Figure 3. The cytocompatibility of C3S cement with the various proportions of C12A7; (A) The effects of C3S cement containing the various proportions of C12A7 on cell viability measured by the MTT assay; (B) The effects of C3S cement with the various proportions of C12A7 on the proliferation of hDPCs cultured on the specimens; (C-F) Representative confocal laser scanning microscopic images (x200) showing hDPCs (stained with DAPI) growing on the specimens (C12A7-0, 5, 8, and 10, respectively) after 48 h of culture. Statistical significance was determined at p<0.05.
