Effects of nanohybrid flowable resin‐based composites on fibroblast viability using different light‐curing units

Purpose To investigate the in vitro cytotoxic effects of Bis‐GMA‐containing and Bis‐GMA‐free flowable resin‐based composites (RBCs) on primary human gingival fibroblast cells (hGFc) using direct and indirect curing methods and three different light‐curing units (LCUs). Materials and methods Cells we...

Description
Summary:Purpose To investigate the in vitro cytotoxic effects of Bis‐GMA‐containing and Bis‐GMA‐free flowable resin‐based composites (RBCs) on primary human gingival fibroblast cells (hGFc) using direct and indirect curing methods and three different light‐curing units (LCUs). Materials and methods Cells were isolated and cultured in vitro in 24‐well plates. The plates were divided into treatment (cells with RBC), control (cells only), and blank (media only) groups. In the treatment groups, two types of nanohybrid flowable RBCs were used: Bis‐GMA‐free and Bis‐GMA groups. Each treatment group was subdivided according to the curing method, i.e., direct curing (RBC was injected into the wells and cured directly on the attached cells) and indirect curing (the samples were pre‐cured outside of the well plate and then added to the well plate with cells). To vary the LCU, the subgroups were further divided into three groups: multiple‐emission peak light‐emitting diode, single‐emission peak light‐emitting diode, and quartz‐tungsten‐halogen units. Curing was conducted for 20 seconds. The hGFc cytotoxicity was evaluated via 3‐[4,5‐dimethylthiazol‐2‐yl]‐2,5‐diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay after 24, 48, and 72 hours of culturing. Results The MTT assay results showed that both RBCs were significantly cytotoxic toward hGFc compared to the control group (p < 0.0001). The Bis‐GMA group was significantly more cytotoxic to the cells compared to the Bis‐GMA‐free group. In addition, the curing method and time interval affected cell viability regardless of the LCU used. Conclusion The Bis‐GMA flowable RBC and direct curing method had the highest cytotoxic effects on hGFc regardless of the LCU used. Careful selection of flowable RBCs and proper curing techniques are required to decrease the cytotoxic effects on hGFc and improve the clinical handling of oral tissues.
