Evaluation of MG63 (A, B) and SAOS-2 (C, D) cell proliferation on dentin (D) and enamel (E) particles subjected or not to demineralization process. MG63 and SAOS-2 cells cultured onto polystyrene plates were used as the internal reference (i.e., positive controls [CTRL] for cell growth; 100% cell viability). Data are expressed as arbitrary units (RFU) as well as percentage of cell viability with respect to the CTRL. Bio-Oss® was used as a positive control. Data are expressed as mean ± SD; D = dentin; dD = demineralized dentin; E = enamel; dE = demineralized enamel.
