Purpose: This in vitro study evaluated the cytotoxicity of resin cements with L929 fibroblasts. Materials and Methods: The resin cements, Super-Bond C&B, RelyX ARC, Clearfil Esthetic, specimens were prepared and extracted. The L929 cells were plated (25,000 cells/mL) and maintained. The medium was replaced with the resin extracts. Twelve specimens were used for each group. Cell viability was evaluated by 3-[4,5-dimethyl-thiazol-2-yl]-2,5-diphenyl-tetrazolium bromide (MTT) tests. The data were analyzed by one-way analysis of variance and Tukey honest significant difference tests. Results: Clearfil Esthetic had significantly higher decreasing effect on cell survival and growth (55.64 ± 8.26%), from the other resin cements and the control (P < 001). There are no differences between the survival rates of Super-Bond C&B (72.75 ± 12.33%) and RelyX ARC (62.63 ± 10.98%) (P > 05); however, each of them was cytotoxic when they compared with the control (P < 001). Conclusion: Differential toxic effects of resin-based cement on the pulp cells should be considered during the selection. |
