RESUMO

Objetivo:

Com base nas características biológicas e físico-químicas do agregado de trióxido mineral (MTA), este seria o material mais adequado para a obturação do canal radicular. No entanto, esse material apresenta baixo escoamento e, consequentemente, difícil manipulação. O MTA Fillapex (MTA-F) foi criado na tentativa de combinar as propriedades físico-químicas do cimento endodôntico com as propriedades biológicas do MTA. No entanto, os estudos sobre as características biológicas do MTA-F ainda são controversos. Dessa forma, este estudo teve como objetivo analisar in vitro a citotoxicidade do MTA-F.

Materiais e Métodos:

fi broblastos gengivais foram cultivados em Dulbecco’s modifi ed Eagle Medium (DMEM) e submetidos ao meio de cultura condicionado pelo MTA ou MTA-F. Esse meio condicionado continha substâncias liberadas pelos cimentos endodônticos. Células cultivadas em meio fresco serviram como controle positivo. A viabilidade celular foi avaliada por ensaio do MTT após 1, 3, 5 e 7 dias. Os dados obtidos foram comparados por análise de variância (ANOVA) seguida pelo teste de Tukey (p < 0,05).

Resultados:

As células submetidas ao meio condicionado pelo MTA apresentaram curva de crescimento celular semelhante à das células do grupo controle. Para o grupo MTA-F, não houve crescimento celular e foi observado um número de células viáveis signifi cativamente menor do que o dos demais grupos durante todo o experimento.

Conclusão:

Substâncias liberadas a partir de MTA-F não permitiram o crescimento celular, mostrando que esse cimento endodôntico à base de MTA é altamente citotóxico. A característica de biocompatibilidade do MTA pode ser perdida com o MTA-F e comprometer o sucesso do tratamento endodôntico.
ABSTRACT

Aim:

Based on its biological and physicochemical characteristics, mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) could be considered the most appropriate material for root canal obturation; nevertheless, handling of MTA is not easy. The MTA Fillapex (MTA-F) was created in an attempt to combine the physicochemical properties of a root canal sealer with the biological properties of MTA. However, the studies on the biological characteristics of MTA-F are still controversial. Thus, this study aimed to analyze the cytotoxicity of MTA-F. Materials and

Methods:

Cultured human gingival fi broblasts were grown in Dulbecco’s modifi ed Eagle Medium (DMEM) and submitted to a cell culture medium conditioned by MTA or MTA-F. The conditioned medium contained substances leached from the root canal sealers. Cells grown on a fresh medium served as a positive control. Cell viability was assessed by MTT assay at 1, 3, 5 and 7 days. Data was compared by ANOVA followed by Tukey’s test (p < 0.05).

Results:

Cells submitted to media conditioned by MTA presented a cell growth curve similar to that of the control cells. For the MTA-F group, cell growth was not observed and cell viability was signifi cantly lower than for the other groups during the entire experiment.

Conclusion:

Substances leached from MTA-F did not allow cell growth, indicating that this MTA-based root sealer is highly cytotoxic. The biocompatibility characteristic of MTA can be lost with MTA-F, and may compromise the endodontic treatment outcome.
