Effects of high glucose on cellular activity of periodontal ligament cells in vitro.

Periodontal ligament (PDL) cells are the most important cells in the healing of wounds and the regeneration of periodontal tissues. The response of PDL cells regarding cellular activity to high glucose concentration levels could be the key in understanding the events associated with the dental care of brittle diabetes. We studied the effect of high glucose concentration levels on the cellular activity of PDL cells from five non-diabetic patients in vitro.
