ABSTRACT
This study investigated the cytotoxicity exists between latex and non-latex Orthodontic elastomeric ligatures. Six elastomeric ligatures (1 latex, 2 latex-free and 3 polyurethane) from different manufacturers were divided into 6 groups of 15 elastics each A (Latex-free, American Orthodontics), M (Polyurethane, Morelli), G (Polyurethane,GAC International), Te (Polyurethane, Tecnident), TP (Natural latex,TP Orthodontics) and U (Latex-free,3M Unitek). The cytotoxicity assay was performed using cell cultures (L929 mouse fibroblast cell line), which were subjected to the cell viability test with neutral red ("dye-uptake") at 1, 2, 3, 7 and 28 days. Data were analyzed statistically by ANOVA and Tukey's test (α=0.05). No statistically significant differences (p>0.05) were observed between Groups M and Te in all experimental periods, except at 2 days. No significant differences (p>0.05) in cell viability were found either among Groups A, G, TP and U or between Groups M and Te at 24 h or among Groups CC, A, G, TP and U at 2 and 28 days. It may be concluded that latex-free elastomeric ligatures from American Orthodontics and Unitek trademarks induced less cell lysis compared to latex and polyurethane ligatures.
RESUMO
Este estudo investigou a citotoxicidade entre ligaduras elásticas ortodônticas de látex e não-látex. Seis ligaduras elásticas de diferentes fabricantes (1 látex, 2 não-látex e 3 poliuretano) foram divididos em 6 grupos de 15 elásticos cada Grupo A (látex-free, American Orthodontics), M (Poliuretano, Morelli), G (Poliuretano, GAC International), Te (Poliuretano, Tecnident), TP (látex natural, TP Orthodontics) e U (Látex-free, 3M Unitek). O ensaio de citotoxicidade foi realizado utilizando culturas de células (células da linhagem L929, fibroblastos de camundongo) que foram submetidos ao teste de viabilidade celular com vermelho neutro ("dye-uptake") em 1, 2, 3, 7 e 28 dias. A análise de variância (ANOVA), com comparações múltiplas e teste de Tukey foram empregados (α=0,05). Os resultados mostraram que não houve diferença estatisticamente significante entre os Grupos M e Te em todos os tempos experimentais (p>0,05), exceto em 2 dias. Não houve diferença estatisticamente (p>0,05) entre a viabilidade das células nos grupos A, G, TP e U ou entre os grupos M e Te em 24 h, ou entre os grupos CC, A, G, TP e U em 2 e 28 dias. Concluiu-se que as ligaduras elásticas látex-free das marcas American Orthodontics e Unitek induziram menor quantidade de lise celular comparado às ligaduras de látex ou poliuretano.
