Cytotoxic effects of dental cements on two cell culture systems

Abstract
Four dental cements [glass ionomer, zinc polyacrylate, zinc oxide-eugenol and zinc phosphate] and 1 bis-GMA composite were tested in cultures of human periodontal ligament fibroblasts and mouse 3T3 fibroblasts. These cell types reacted to the cements with different intensities, and there were differences in evaluation by phase contrast microscopy and succinic dehydrogenase histochemistry.
