(5) On the buccal and lingual aspects of the implants, both the absolute lengths and CLF were significantly smaller for the porous-coated design.
(6) The usefulness of porous tarflen materials (tarflen--Polish name of teflon produced by Zakłady Azotowe in Tarnów, Poland) for this application was evaluated by comparing their properties with those of American porous teflon membranes used in membrane oxygenators.
(7) Epidermal growth factor added to cultures on solid or porous supports caused proliferation of epithelial-type cells to give a confluent monolayer but did not increase the expression of differentiated function.
(8) Porous polyethylene was thus better incorporated into the soft tissues than silicone rubber as long as the overlying soft tissues were not stressed by an oversized implant or inadequate soft tissue coverage.
