Effect of dental materials on human periodontal-ligament-derived fibroblastic cells

Abstract

Abstract : The aim of this study was to evaluate in cultures of human periodontal ligament-derived fibroblastic cells the cytotoxicity of seven materials, which were used for endodontic surgery. The results we obtained confirmed that 4META/MMA-TBB resin showed most biocompatibility and photo cure resin and apatite cement have also good compatibility. Amalgam showed higher cytotoxicity rather than another materials because there was no cell growth at the area attached with amalgam directly. It is very important to understand a quality of the materials, which we have to use being suitable for the purpose.
