Introduction: To evaluate the cytotoxicity of four different orthodontic cement materials using the real-time xCELLigence system. Materials and Methods: Four orthodontic glass ionomer cements (GICs) were selected for this study, namely: GC Fuji (GC Cooperation), Ultra Band Lok (Reliance), Multi Cure (3M Unitek), and Meron (Voco). Ten test cylinders (measuring 5 Χ 2 mm) of each material were fabricated, making a total of 40 cylinders. The samples were incubated in Dulbecco modified Eagle medium (DMEM) culture medium for 72 hours. Human gingival fibroblasts (HGFs) were maintained with DMEM containing 10% fetal bovine serum. A real-time cell analyzer (RT-CES, xCELLigence) was used to evaluate cell survival. After seeding 200 μL of the cell suspensions into the wells (10,000 cells/well), gingival fibroblasts were treated with bioactive components released from cement materials and were monitored every 15 minutes for a period of 88 hours. For proliferation experiments, the statistical analyses used were one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Tukey-Kramer multiple comparisons tests. Results: When the data were evaluated at 24 and 48 hrs, all tested materials showed statistically significant decreases in HGF cell index compared to the control group (P < 0.001). Conclusion: According to the results of this study, all tested cements were found to have cytotoxic effects to the HGFs. |
