ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION: Endocyn, a pH-neutral solution of hypochlorous acid and hypochlorite has been developed for use as an endodontic irrigant. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of Endocyn on human periodontal ligament (PDL) fibroblasts, rat osteosarcoma cells (UMR-106), and stem cells of the apical papilla (SCAP) compared with other commonly used endodontic irrigants. METHODS: To determine cytotoxicity, cells were exposed to various concentrations of Endocyn, 6% sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl), 17% EDTA, and 2% chlorhexidine for 10 minutes, 1 hour, or 24 hours. Cell survival was measured fluorescently using calcein AM. Endocyn also was tested for its ability to inhibit SCAP proliferation and alkaline phosphatase activity. Finally, SCAP transcript expression was examined via reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reaction. RESULTS: Endocyn was no more toxic to PDL and UMR cells than water for up to 24 hours. Endocyn concentrations of 50% were toxic to SCAP after 1 hour of exposure. Endocyn concentrations of >20% inhibited SCAP proliferation, whereas concentrations of ≥10% inhibited alkaline phosphatase activity. Exposure of SCAP to 10% Endocyn for 3 days did not alter most transcript expression, but did significantly reduce the expression of alkaline phosphatase, fibromodulin, and osteomodulin. CONCLUSION: Endocyn was significantly less cytotoxic to PDL, UMR-106, and SCAP cells compared with other commonly used endodontic irrigants. High concentrations of Endocyn did inhibit some transcript expression and alkaline phosphatase activity, indicating a potential reduction in the osteogenic potential of stems cells exposed to Endocyn.
