Figure 2. Dose-dependent induction of apoptosis and necrosis in human pulp cells. Cell cultures were treated with various concentrations of TEGDMA in duplicate for 24 hrs. The percentages of apoptotic ({circ}) and necrotic ({square}) cell populations were analyzed by flow cytometry. Values (means ± SD) from 6 independent experiments are presented (n = 6); * indicates significant (p ≤ 0.05), and ** indicates highly significant (p ≤ 0.01) differences from untreated control cultures (Mann-Whitney U-test).
