Abstract
Gingival epithelial cells initially attach to a transmucosal portion of SA-treated c.p.Ti implant material and subsequently express the integrin-α6β4 adhesion molecule and the laminin-5 extracellular matrix molecule. This cell behavior may play a key role in maintaining the peri-implant oral mucosal tissue barrier.
