Representative morphology of SHED cells in contact with MTA or not for 1, 2, and 3 days. In the MTA_DC and MTA_IDC groups, sparse shrinkage spindle-shaped cells and worse cell adhesion compared with the control groups were observed. On day 1, many cells detached from the glass slip and floated in the culture medium. The dispersed cells in the groups in which MTA existed showed a poignant contrast to the control. Black bar, 100µm
