Objectives:
Dentin Bonding Agents (DBAs) have been proposed as root-end filling materials. This study examined the effect of polymerized DBAs on human monocyte viability.
Study Design:
Monocytes were directly isolated from peripheral blood and being exposed to cured Scotch bond I (Single Bond) and Prime & Bond in different time intervals (36 and 72 hours). The viability of monocytes was determined by MTT assay.
Results:
Viability of the cells was time dependent. There was no significant difference between the effect of 2 DBAs on monocytes.
Conclusion:
Results indicate that DBAs in polymerized form can alter the viability of monocytes and decrease it within time.
