The cytotoxic effect of denture base polymers

A Hensten-Pettersen, L Wictorin

    Acta Odontologica Scandinavica
    |January 1, 1981
    PubMed
    Summary

    Cytotoxicity of dental resins was assessed using in vitro cell cultures. Some heat-cured and pour-type resins showed mild to moderate cytotoxic effects on human epithelial cells.

    Area of Science:

    • Biomaterials Science
    • Dental Materials
    • Cell Biology

    Background:

    • Dental resins are widely used in prosthetics and restorative applications.
    • Understanding the biocompatibility of these materials is crucial for patient safety.
    • Autopolymerized and heat-cured resins are common types with varying compositions.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate and compare the in vitro cytotoxic potential of different dental resin types.
    • To assess the effect of processing methods on resin cytotoxicity.
    • To determine the impact of resins on human epithelial cell viability and proliferation.

    Main Methods:

    • In vitro cell culture techniques using human epithelial cells (NCTC 2544).
    • Culturing cells on polymer disks made from autopolymerized (pour and dough type) and heat-cured resins.
    • Quantifying cell multiplication on the surface of the tested polymer specimens.

    Main Results:

    • One heat-cured resin and one pour-type resin exhibited slight cytotoxic effects.
    • Other tested resin polymers demonstrated moderate cytotoxic effects.
    • No significant difference in cytotoxicity was observed based on alternate processing methods.

    Conclusions:

    • Dental resins possess varying degrees of cytotoxicity.
    • Both heat-cured and autopolymerized resins can elicit cytotoxic responses in human epithelial cells.
    • Processing methods did not appear to influence the cytotoxic potential of these dental polymers.
