ABSTRACT

Abstract: Modified formulations of calcium silicate repair materials with additives have been developed to enhance handling, consistency, biocompatibility and bioactivity. Considering the relevance of osteoblastic cell response to mineralized tissue repair, human osteoblastic cells (Saos-2 cells overexpressing BMP-2) were exposed to mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) (with calcium tungstate - CaWO4), MTA HP Repair, Bio-C Repair and Bio-C Pulpo. Cell viability was assessed by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) and neutral red (NR), and cell death, by flow cytometry. Gene expression of bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP-2), runt-related transcription factor 2 (RUNX-2), and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) osteogenic markers were evaluated by real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR). ALP activity and alizarin red staining (ARS) were used to detect mineralization nodule deposition. Bioactive cements presented no cytotoxic effect, and did not induce apoptosis at the higher dilution (1:12). MTA, Bio-C Repair and Bio-C Pulpo exhibited higher ALP activity than the control group (P < 0.05) after 7 days. MTA, MTA HP and Bio-C Pulpo affected the formation of mineralized nodules (p < 0.05). Exposure to all cement extracts for 1 day increased BMP-2 gene expression. RUNX-2 mRNA was greater in MTA, MTA HP and Bio-C Repair. MTA, MTA HP and Bio-C Pulpo increased the ALP mRNA expression, compared with BMP-2 unexposed cells (P < 0.05). Calcium silicate cements showed osteogenic potential and biocompatibility in Saos-2 cells transfected BMP-2, and increased the mRNA expression of BMP-2, RUNX-2, and ALP osteogenic markers in the BMP-2 transfected system, thereby promoting a cellular response to undertake the mineralized tissue repair.

ABSTRACT

Abstract Natural products have emerged as a rich source of bioactive compounds for adjunctive treatments of many infectious and inflammatory conditions, including periodontitis. Among the monoterpenes with significant biological properties, there is the perillyl alcohol (POH), which can be found in several essential oils and has shown immunomodulatory properties in recent studies, which may be interesting in the treatment of non-neoplastic inflammatory disorders. Objective To determine the antibacterial and immune modulatory activities of the POH. Methodology The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and the minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) of the POH for two significant Gram-negative periodontal pathogens were determined by macrodilution and subculture, respectively. Cell proliferation and cytotoxicity in RAW 264.7 macrophages were determined by Trypan Blue and mitochondrial enzymatic activity assay. The modulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) was analyzed by flow cytometry and expression of TNF and arginase-1 by real-time PCR. Results The POH was effective against P. gingivalis (ATCC 33277) and F. nucleatum (ATCC 25586) with MIC= MBC=1600 μM. No cytotoxicity up to 100 µM was observed on macrophages. The cell proliferation was inhibited from 48 hours at 100 μM (p<0.05) and 250 μM (p<0.01). The POH increased ROS production at both 10 μM and 100 μM (p<0.05) in unstimulated cells. The PMA-induced ROS production was not affected by POH, whereas 100 μM significantly reduced lipopolysaccharide-induced (LPS-induced) ROS. The expression of TNF was not affected by POH in unstimulated cells or in cells polarized to M1 phenotype, whereas both concentrations of POH reduced (p<0.05) the expression of arginase-1 in M2-polarized macrophages. Conclusion The POH has antibacterial activity against periodontal pathogens and reduced proliferation of murine macrophages without significant cytotoxicity at concentrations up to 100 μM. In addition, the POH reduced the LPS-induced ROS and the expression of arginase-1 in M2-polarized macrophages.

ABSTRACT

Abstract Periodontal regeneration is still a challenge in terms of predictability and magnitude of effect. In this study we assess the biological effects of combining chemical root conditioning and biological mediators on three relevant cell types for periodontal regeneration. Material and Methods: Bovine dentin slices were conditioned with 25% citric acid followed by topical application of basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF, 10 and 50 ng). We used ELISA to assess the dynamics of bFGF release from the dentin surface and RT-qPCR to study the expression of Runx2, Col1a1, Bglap and fibronectin by periodontal ligament (PDL) fibroblasts, cementoblasts and bone marrow stromal cells (BMSC) grown onto these dentin slices. We also assessed the effects of topical application of bFGF on cell proliferation by quantification of genomic DNA. Results: Acid conditioning significantly increased the release of bFGF from dentin slices. Overall, bFGF application significantly (p<0.05) increased cell proliferation, except for BMSC grown on non-conditioned dentin slices. Dentin substrate discretely increased expression of Col1a1 in all cell types. Expression of Runx2, Col1a1 and Fn was either unaffected or inhibited by bFGF application in all cell types. We could not detect expression of the target genes on BMSC grown onto conditioned dentin. Conclusion: Acid conditioning of dentin improves the release of topically-applied bFGF. Topical application of bFGF had a stimulatory effect on proliferation of PDL fibroblasts, cementoblasts and BMSC, but did not affect expression of Runx2, Col1a1, Bglap and fibronectin by these cells.

ABSTRACT

Abstract This study aimed to characterize the dynamics of suppressor of cytokine signaling (SOCS1) expression in a rat model of lipopolysaccharide-induced periodontitis. Wistar rats in the experimental groups were injected three times/week with LPS from Escherichia coli on the palatal aspect of the first molars, and control animals were injected with vehicle (phosphate-buffered saline). Animals were sacrificed 7, 15, and 30 days after the first injection to analyze inflammation (stereometric analysis), bone loss (macroscopic analysis), gene expression (qRT-PCR), and protein expression/activation (Western blotting). The severity of inflammation and bone loss associated with LPS-induced periodontitis increased from day 7 to day 15, and it was sustained through day 30. Significant (p < 0.05) increases in SOCS1, RANKL, OPG, and IFN-γ gene expression were observed in the experimental group versus the control group at day 15. SOCS1 protein expression and STAT1 and NF-κB activation were increased throughout the 30-day experimental period. Gingival tissues affected by experimental periodontitis express SOCS1, indicating that this protein may potentially downregulate signaling events involved in inflammatory reactions and bone loss and thus may play a relevant role in the development and progression of periodontal disease.

ABSTRACT

Abstract Several calcium silicate-based biomaterials have been developed in recent years, in addition to Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA). The aim of this study was to evaluate the cytotoxicity, genotoxicity and apoptosis/necrosis in human osteoblast cells (SAOS-2) of pure calcium silicate-based cements (CSC) and modified formulations: modified calcium silicate-based cements (CSCM) and three resin-based calcium silicate cements (CSCR1) (CSCR 2) (CSCR3). The following tests were performed after 24 hours of cement extract exposure: methyl-thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT), apoptosis/necrosis assay and comet assay. The negative control (CT-) was performed with untreated cells, and the positive control (CT+) used hydrogen peroxide. The data for MTT and apoptosis were submitted to analysis of variance and Bonferroni's posttest (p < 0.05), and the data for the comet assay analysis, to the Kruskal-Wallis and Dunn tests (p < 0.05). The MTT test showed no significant difference among the materials in 2 mg/mL and 10 mg/mL concentrations. CSCR3 showed lower cell viability at 10 mg/mL. Only CSC showed lower cell viability at 50 mg/mL. CSCR1, CSCR2 and CSCR3 showed a higher percentage of initial apoptosis than the control in the apoptosis test, after 24 hours exposure. The same cements showed no genotoxicity in the concentration of 2 mg/mL, with the comet assay. CSC and CSCR2 were also not genotoxic at 10 mg/mL. All experimental materials showed viability with MTT. CSC and CSCR2 presented a better response to apoptosis and genotoxicity evaluation in the 10 mg/mL concentration, and demonstrated a considerable potential for use as reparative materials.

ABSTRACT

Mechanical instrumentation of the root surface causes the formation of a smear layer, which is a physical barrier that can affect periodontal regeneration. Although different procedures have been proposed to remove the smear layer, there is no information concerning how long the smear layer persists on root surfaces after instrumentation in vivo. This study assessed the presence of the smear layer on root surfaces over a 28-day period after subgingival instrumentation with hand instruments. Fifty human teeth that were referred for extraction because of advanced periodontal disease were scaled and root planed (SRP) by a single experienced operator. Ten teeth were randomly assigned to be extracted 7, 14, 21, and 28 days after SRP. Another 10 teeth were extracted immediately after instrumentation (Day 0, control group). The subgingival area of the instrumented roots was evaluated with scanning electron microscopy. Representative photomicrographs were assessed by a blinded and calibrated examiner according to a scoring system. A rapid and significant (p < 0.05, Z test) initial reduction in the amount of smear layer was observed at 7 days, and a further significant (p < 0.05) decrease was observed 28 days after SRP. Interestingly, even 28 days after SRP, the smear layer was still present on root surfaces. This study showed that the physiological elimination of the smear layer occurred in a biphasic manner: a rapid initial reduction was observed 7 days after instrumentation, which was followed by a slow process leading to a significant decrease 28 days after instrumentation.

ABSTRACT

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate a possible synergism between AGE-RAGE and TLR4 signaling and the role of p38 MAPK and NF-kB signaling pathways on the modulation of the expression of inflammatory cytokines and proliferation of cells from the innate and adaptive immune response. Material and Methods: T lymphocyte (JM) and monocyte (U937) cell lines were stimulated with LPS and AGE-BSA independently and associated, both in the presence and absence of p38 MAPK and NF-kB inhibitors. Proliferation was assessed by direct counting and viability was assessed by a biochemical assay of mitochondrial function. Cytokine gene expression for RAGe, CCL3, CCR5, IL-6 and TNF-α was studied by RT-PCR and RT-qPCR. Results: RAGE mRNA expression was detected in both cell lines. LPS and AGE-BSA did not influence cell proliferation and viability of either cell line up to 72 hours. LPS and LPS associated with AGE induced expression of IL-6 and TNF-α in monocytes and T cells, respectively. Conclusions: There is no synergistic effect between RAGE and TLR signaling on the expression of IL-6, TNF-α , RAGE, CCR5 and CCL3 by monocytes and lymphocytes. Activation of RAGE associated or not with TLR signaling also had no effect on cell proliferation and survival of these cell types. .

ABSTRACT

PURPOSE: This in vitro study aimed to evaluate the effect of different fruit juice drinks available in the Brazilian market on smear layer removal and dentinal tubules opening, as well as to verify the effect of toothbrushing subsequently to the juices exposure. METHODS: Dentin specimens were prepared and randomly distributed into the control group (distilled water) and twelve types of fruit juice drinks (cashew, orange, mandarin, apple, passion fruit, guava, strawberry, grape, mango, pear, peach, pineapple). The following treatments were applied: immersion or immersion + brushing. After preparation for SEM, photomicrographs were assessed using an index of smear layer removal. RESULTS: No significant differences regarding smear layer removal and dentinal tubules exposure could be observed between the groups after both treatments (Kruskal-Wallis, post-hoc paired comparisons, P>0.05). The control solution and the fruit juice drinks were not able to remove smear layer and to open dentinal tubules. Significant difference between the applied treatments was detected only for the mango juice group (Mann-Whitney, P<0.05). CONCLUSION: Under the experimental conditions, the different fruit juice drinks did not promote significant alterations on human radicular dentin morphology regardless of the subsequent application of brushing procedures.


OBJETIVO: O objetivo deste estudo in vitro foi avaliar o efeito de diferentes sucos de fruta disponíveis no mercado brasileiro sobre o grau de remoção de smear layer e abertura dos túbulos dentinários, assim como verificar o efeito da escovação realizada imediatamente após a exposição aos sucos. METODOLOGIA: Amostras de dentina foram preparadas e distribuídas aleatoriamente entre o grupo controle (água destilada) e doze tipos de suco de fruta (caju, laranja, tangerina, maçã, maracujá, goiaba, morango, uva, manga, pêra, pêssego, abacaxi). Os tratamentos aplicados foram: imersão ou imersão + escovação. Após preparo para MEV, fotomicrografias foram avaliadas utilizando-se um índice de remoção de smear layer. RESULTADOS: Não foram encontradas diferenças significativas entre os grupos em relação à remoção de smear layer e abertura dos túbulos após ambos os tratamentos (Kruskal-Wallis, comparações pareadas, P>0.05). A solução controle e os sucos de fruta não promoveram remoção de smear layer e abertura dos túbulos dentinários. Apenas no grupo do suco de manga foi verificada uma diferença significativa entre os tratamentos aplicados (Mann-Whitney, P<0.05). CONCLUSÃO: Com base na metodologia utilizada, pode-se concluir que os diferentes sucos de fruta não promoveram alterações significativas na morfologia da dentina radicular apesar da realização subsequente de procedimentos de escovação.

ABSTRACT

The purpose of this clinical study was to investigate if periodontal disease and rheumatoid arthritis (RA) are associated. The study included 39 RA patients (test group) and 22 age- and gender-matched healthy individuals (control group). Questionnaires on general and oral health were applied and a complete periodontal exam, including visible plaque, marginal bleeding, attachment loss (AL) and number of teeth present, was also performed by a single calibrated examiner. Diabetes mellitus patients and smokers were excluded. RA patients had fewer teeth, higher prevalence of sites presenting dental plaque and a higher frequency of sites with advanced attachment loss. Although the prevalence of dental plaque was higher in the test group (Chi-square test, p = 0.0006), the percentage of sites showing gingival bleeding was not different (Fisher’s exact test, p > 0.05). Based on our results, we suggest that there is an association between periodontal disease and RA.

ABSTRACT

The patient's diet has been considered an important etiological factor of dentin hypersensitivity. The frequent ingestion of acidic substances can promote the loss of dental structure or remove the smear layer. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the degree of smear layer removal and dentinal tubules exposure by different natural orange juices. Extracted human teeth were submitted to manual scaling in order to develop the smear layer. Seventy dentin samples were obtained and distributed into the following groups: Control, lime orange, lime, valência orange, navel orange, mandarin, and tangerine. Each group included 2 methods of application: Topical and topical + friction. After preparation for SEM analysis, photomicrographs were assessed by a blind calibrated examiner using an index system. The Kruskal-Wallis test indicated a significant influence of the orange juices on smear layer removal. Significant difference was observed between navel orange, valência orange, mandarin and the control group (p < 0.05). These orange juices resulted in greater removal of the smear layer and greater opening of dentinal tubules. The comparison between the application methods for each group using the Mann-Whitney test showed that friction increased smear layer removal significantly only for lime orange and lime. The data suggest that certain natural orange juices are more effective in terms of smear layer removal and dentinal tubules exposure than others.

ABSTRACT

Several antiseptic substances have been used as adjuncts to routine mechanical procedures of oral hygiene, based on their antimicrobial effects. The objective of this study was to assess in vitro the antimicrobial efficiency of a mouthwash containing Triclosan/Gantrez and sodium bicarbonate in comparison to both positive and negative controls. Standard strain samples of Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Actinomyces viscosus and Bacillus subtilis were used. Samples of Streptococcus mutans and Gram-negative bacilli were collected from 20 volunteers (10 with a clinically healthy periodontium and 10 presenting biofilm-associated gingivitis). Evaluation of the antimicrobial activity was performed by determining the minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC). The results indicated that the test solution inhibited the growth of both Gram-negative and Gram-positive microorganisms from the volunteers’ saliva as well as that of the standard strains at the MIC dilution of 1:20, whereas the MIC dilution of 0.12 percent chlorhexidine against the same bacteria was 1:80. Thus, even though the tested mouthrinse solution presented an in-vitro antimicrobial activity superior to that of a placebo, it was inferior to that of chlorhexidine.


Diversas substâncias antisépticas têm sido utilizadas como adjuntos aos procedimentos mecânicos rotineiros de higiene oral, com base em seus efeitos antimicrobianos. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar, in vitro, a eficiência antimicrobiana de um enxaguatório bucal contendo Triclosan/Gantrez e bicarbonato de sódio, em comparação a controles positivos e negativos. Linhagens padrão de Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Actinomyces viscosus e Bacillus subtilis foram utilizadas. Amostras de Streptococcus mutans e Bacilos Gram-negativos foram coletadas de 20 voluntários (10 com um periodonto clinicamente saudável e 10 com gengivite associada à presença de biofilme). A avaliação da atividade antimicrobiana foi realizada pela determinação da Concentração Inibitória Mínima (CIM). Os resultados mostraram que a solução teste inibiu o crescimento de microrganismos Gram-negativos e Gram-positivos da saliva dos voluntários, bem como das linhagens padrão na CIM de 1:20, enquanto que a CIM da diluição de clorexidina 0.12 por cento contra as mesmas bactérias foi de 1:80. Desta forma, apesar de o enxaguatório bucal testado apresentar atividade antimicrobiana in vitro superior à do placebo, esta foi inferior à da Clorexidina.

ABSTRACT

O objetivo deste trabalho foi realizar um levamentamento retrospectivo da doença periodontal destrutiva em pacientes atendidos na clínica da FOAr-UNESP, no período de 1994 a 1999. De um total de 777 fichas analisadas, 60,7% eram do sexo feminino e 53% na faixa etária de 19 a 40 anos. A prevalência de perda de inserção severa (maior 6 mm) foi de 45% dos pacientes, afetando, em média, apenas 3,8% dos sítios. Desses pacientes, 66% relataram nunca ter realizado tratamento periodontal prévio. Houve redução progressiva da proporção de indivíduos livres de perda de inserção severa, de 100% (10-18 anos) até 35%(maior 60 anos), paralelamente à uma redução no percentual de indivíduos apresentando 20 ou mais dentes:100% nos individuos de 10-18 anos a 42,8% acima de 60 anos. Considerando que a amostra foi de pacientes atendidos na clínica de periodontia e, portanto, grande parte (>45%) apresentou destruição periodontal severa. A extensão desta foi bastante reduzida (em média 3,8% dos sítios, apesar do reduzidos acesso ao tratamento nestes indivíduos.

ABSTRACT

O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar as condições clínicas periodontais de dentes anteriores com migração patológica (MDP) em pacientes com periodontite crônica generalizada e comparar a severidade de destruição periodontal entre dentes migrados e não-migrados. Foram selecionados 32 pacientes, de ambos os sexos, apresentando média de idade de 46,0 anos (± 11,6), com perda clínica de inserção em dentes anteriores e presença de algum tipo de MDP, a saber: vestibularização, diastema, inclinação proximal, giroversão ou extrusão. Os parâmetros avaliados foram a perda clínica de inserção (PIC) e o percentual de perda óssea radiográfica (PO). Os resultados mostraram, em média, uma PIC de 5,50 mm (± 2,20 mm) e uma PO de 41,90% (± 15,40%) do comprimento radicular, em 115 dentes selecionados. Os tipos mais freqüentes de migração foram vestibularização (34,80%) e presença de diastemas (27,00%). A extrusão foi a menos freqüente (4,30%). Maiores valores de PO e PIC foram registrados nos dentes com extrusão (59,44% e 8,42 mm) e vestibularização (45,17% e 6,07 mm). Esses valores de PO foram superiores aos observados nos dentes com giroversão ou inclinação proximal (p < 0,05 - Kruskal-Wallis). A PIC não apresentou diferenças significativas entre os diferentes tipos de migração (p = 0,11). Constatou-se que os dentes anteriores com MDP apresentaram maior PIC e PO (5,1 mm e 40%) quando comparados aos não-migrados (4,1 mm e 31%). Pôde-se concluir também que o tipo de MDP mais prevalente foi a vestibularização, que esteve relacionada a maiores níveis de perda óssea.

ABSTRACT

O objetivo desse trabalho foi avaliar a influência de sucos da dieta (maçã, limão, laranja) como também do vinagre na remoção da camada de esfregaço ("smear layer"), e exposição de túbulos dentinários. A etiologia da hipersensibilidade dentinária cervical (HSDC) é multifatorial e um dos fatores importantes a considerar é a dieta alimentar do paciente, principalmente os sucos cítricos. Para o estudo, foram utilizados dentes de humanos de banco, que após a desinfecção em glutaraldeído a 2%, foram instrumentados com curetas de Gracey 5-6 para remoção do cemento e formação da "smear layer". Posteriormente foram reduzidos em amostras de 3x3mm as quais foram analisadas em microscopia eletrônica de varredura. Assim, cada grupo de estudo foi subdividido em dois subgrupos: l-Tópico: imersão no suco por 5 minutos + jato de água por 15 segundos, 2-Fricção: imersão no suco por 5 minutos + fricção por 30 segundos (com escova dentária) + jato de água por 15 segundos. Para a análise estatística foi utilizado o método Kruskal-Wallis (p< 0,05). Comparando o grupo controle com os demais não houve diferenças estatisticamente significantes nos subgrupos tópicos; mas houve diferenças significantes entre o subgrupo fricção. Pode-se concluir que os subgrupos limão e vinagre fricção foram capazes de remover a camada de esfregaço e exporem os túbulos dentinários...

ABSTRACT

A hipersensibilidade dentinária cervical é uma condição dolorosa muito comum nos consultórios. A dieta tem sido bastante associada ao seu aparecimento, assim como a sua persistência após o tratamento periodontal. o objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar in vitro a influência dos vinagres na remoção de "smear layer" e exposição dos túbulos dentinários. Dentes de humanos foram instrumentados com curetas Gracey para a remoção do cemento e formação de "smear layer". Foram obtidas amostras de dentina com 3 mm2, divididas entre o grupo controle (água destilada) e cinco grupos de vinagre: branco, maçã, arroz, vinho branco e balsâmico. Cada grupo incluiu duas formas de aplicação da substância, tópica ou por fricção. Após o preparo para observação em MEV (microscopia eletrônica de varredura), as fotomicrografias foram avaliadas por um examinador previamente calibrado utilizando um índice apropriado. O teste de Kruskal-Wallis indicou influência significativa dos vinagres na remoção de "smear layer". Foi constatada uma diferença estatística significante entre os grupos maçã, branco e arroz e o grupo controle (p < 0,05). O teste de Mann-Whitney, porém, indicou que a remoção de "smear layer" não variou para nenhuma das substâncias segundo a forma de aplicação. Conclui-se que os vinagres podem remover "smear layer" da superfície radicular e expor túbulos dentinários, não sendo influenciados pelo tipo de aplicação. Dentre os tipos de vinagres testados, o balsâmico esteve associado a menor remoção de "smear layer" após ambas as formas de aplicação.

ABSTRACT

Os enxaguatórios bucais são freqüentemente usados como adjuntos para a higiene oral, com o objetivo de melhorar a saúde gengival. O objetivo do presente estudo foi avaliar o efeito de uma solução para bochecho contendo triclosan/gantrez e bicarbonato de sódio utilizada em conjunto com a escovação, sobre o acúmulo de placa e inflamação marginal. Para efeito de comparação foram utilizadas soluções-controle positiva (clorexidina a 0,12 por cento) e negativa (placebo). Durante o período experimental de 21 dias, os 30 voluntários periodontalmente saudáveis selecionados não realizaram quaisquer procedimentos mecânicos de higiene interproximal, substituindo-os por dois bochechos diários de 1 minuto cada. Avaliações clínicas de placa visível e sangramento marginal foram realizadas aos 7, 14 e 21 dias. Os resultados indicaram que tanto a clorexidina (8,9 ± 8,9) quanto o triclosan (14,6 ± 8,1) reduziram significativamente o acúmulo de placa, em comparação ao placebo (24,0 ± 11,3). No entanto, apenas a clorexidina foi estatisticamente superior ao placebo na prevenção da inflamação marginal (9,8 ± 10,4 x 18,8 ± 12,4, respectivamente). Conclui-se que a solução testada, contendo triclosan/gantrez e bicarbonato de sódio, não proporcionou benefício significativo à saúde gengival em comparação à solução placebo

ABSTRACT

O objetivo do estudo foi avaliar "in vitro" o efeito da nicotina sobre a viabilidade e a morfologia celular utilizando-se uma linhagem contínua de fibroblastos. Para tal, foram formados dois grupos experimentais segundo a dose (0 controle, 10µg, 100µg, 0,5mg, 1mg) e o tempo de condicionamento (1 e 24 horas). Cada um dos 12 orifícios de uma placa para cultura celular recebeu 2 mL de meio de Eagle, e 1 mL de suspensäo de meio de cultura contendo aproximadamente 1x105 célsmL. Foi, entäo, acrescentada a soluçäo de nicotina nas diferentes concentraçöes. Após o condicionamento com a droga, nos dois períodos testados, as células foram coradas com azul de trypan 0,4 por cento, e observadas em microscópio invertido por um examinador cego para os grupos experimentais, que avaliou a viabilidade e a morfologia segundo o índice de Gamal. Os experimentos foram repetidos 5 vezes. Quanto à morfologia, os resultados obtidos demonstraram, no grupo condicionado por 1h, que os controles apresentaram diferenças estatisticamente significantes em relaçäo apenas à maior dose de nicotina; no entanto, foram encontradas diferenças estatisticamente significantes entre o controle e todas as concentraçöes após 24 horas de condicionamento. Na viabilidade celular, um maior número de células näo viáveis foi observado nas diferentes concentraçöes de nicotina em comparaçäo aos controles tanto após 1 quanto 24 horas de condicionamento (p<0,05). Em ambos períodos existiu uma tendência significativa de aumento do número de células "näo viáveis" com o aumento da dose de nicotina (p=0,0053; p=0,00001 após 1 e 24 hs respectivamente). Portanto, conclui-se que a nicotina pode alterar, "in vitro", a viabilidade e a morfologia de fibroblastos de forma proporcional à dose e ao tempo de exposiçäo
