Cytotoxicity of triple antibiotic paste and calcium hydroxide against cultured human dental pulp fibroblasts

ABSTRACT

Objective: In necrotic immature teeth, intra canal medicaments such as triple antibiotic paste [TAP] and calcium hydroxide [CH] are used for root canal disinfection and regeneration treatment. However, the effect of these medicaments on dental pulp fibroblasts has yet to be known. This study aimed to assess the cytotoxicity of CH and TAP against cultured human dental pulp fibroblasts [HDPFs] obtained from third molars
