The aim of this study was to evaluate the cytotoxicity of four orthodontic primers: Transbond XT and Transbond MIP (3M, USA), Eagle Fluorsure (American Orthodontics, USA) and Ortho Solo (Ormco, USA).
Balb 3T3 cells were exposed to different concentrations of primers (0-0.25 mg/ml). Mitochondrial dehydrogenase activity was evaluated by MTT assay and cell necrosis was measured by flow cytometry (propidium iodide staining).
All the materials decreased cell viability in a dose related manner. Cytotoxicity of orthodontic primers based on concentrations which caused a 50% decrease of mitochondrial activity was ranked as follows: Transbond XT (45.57 mg/ml) > Eagle Fluorsure (49.27 mg/ml) > Transbond MIP (64.35 mg/ml) > Ortho solo (70.09 mg/ml).
Our results suggest that the cytotoxic potencies demonstrated by orthodontic primers might be of clinical relevance since they disturbed cell metabolism and induced cell death in monolayer cultures.
本研究旨在评估四种正畸粘结剂的细胞毒性:Transbond XT和Transbond MIP(美国3M公司)、Eagle Fluorsure(美国American Orthodontics公司)以及Ortho Solo(美国Ormco公司)。
将Balb 3T3细胞暴露于不同浓度的粘结剂(0 - 0.25毫克/毫升)中。通过MTT法评估线粒体脱氢酶活性,并通过流式细胞术(碘化丙啶染色)测定细胞坏死情况。
所有材料均以剂量相关方式降低细胞活力。基于导致线粒体活性降低50%的浓度,正畸粘结剂的细胞毒性排序如下:Transbond XT(45.57毫克/毫升)> Eagle Fluorsure(49.27毫克/毫升)> Transbond MIP(64.35毫克/毫升)> Ortho solo(70.09毫克/毫升)。
我们的结果表明,正畸粘结剂所显示的细胞毒性可能具有临床相关性,因为它们扰乱了单层培养细胞的代谢并诱导细胞死亡。
