Rhesus monkey periodontal ligament-derived fibroblasts were cultured on glass, Vitallium, poly(methyl methacrylate) and enzymatically debrided teeth. Scanning electron micrographs of these preparations and of the periodontal ligament surrounding normal and replanted teeth were compared. The fi broblasts cultured in vitro could organize on implant material and enzymatically debrided teeth to produce a network with fibers resembling those that are seen in the normal periodontal ligament.
