Abstract
Normal fibroblasts and epithelial tumor cells were challenged by exposure for 24 hours to extracts of a pure metal, a metal alloy, and a polymer used in facial reconstruction to assess cellular growth effects. While none of these materials significantly altered fibroblast growth rates, poly-L-lactide inhibited carcinoma cell growth at 5.0% extract concentration. No carcinoma cell growth effects were seen from exposure to stainless steel or commercially pure titanium extracts.
