Article Title: Cytotoxicity and Oxidative Stress Induction by Root Canal Sealers in Human Periodontal Ligament Fibroblasts: An in vitro Study
doi: 10.22037/iej.v16i3.29449
Figure Lengend Snippet: Effects of fresh and set root canal sealers on the viability of HPdLFs assessed using flow cytometry. The cytotoxicity was determined based on a comparison between the proportions of apoptotic, necrotic and viable cell fractions, following the exposure of HPdLFs to the tested materials. The cumulative diagram shows the percentage of necrotic, early and late apoptotic, and viable cells (with standard deviation; SD) EN: Endomethasone N, RSEAL: RealSeal, RSA: Roeko Seal Automix, SP: Sealapex, HPdLFs: Human Periodontal Ligament Fibroblasts
Article Snippet: Cell culture Human periodontal ligament fibroblasts (HPdLFs) (Cell System HPdLF Clonetics TM , Lonza Walkersville, Inc., Walkersville, USA) were cultured in Dulbecco’s modified Eagle’s medium (DMEM; Merk Life Science, Darmstadt, Germany) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS) (Merk Life Science, Darmstadt , Germany), 100 μg/mL penicillin, and 100 μg/mL streptomycin at 37 ° C in a humidified atmosphere of 5% CO 2 ( ).
Techniques: Flow Cytometry, Comparison, Standard Deviation
