Abstract
Objective
To evaluate the effect of fluoride on the cytotoxicity of buccal mucosa cells in the presence of nickel-titanium archwires.
Materials and methods
Seventy-five subjects requiring comprehensive orthodontic treatment were randomly allocated to three groups. Healthy control group included normal subjects who did not receive orthodontic treatment. In the treatment control group, only stainless-steel attachments were placed without archwire. Experimental group included subjects in whom stainless-steel attachments and 0.014″ nickel-titanium archwires were used. Fluoride mouthwash and toothpaste were prescribed to all subjects. Buccal mucosa cell smear was assessed for cell viability, micronucleus scores and caspase-3 reactive cells just before (T0) and 3-months (T1) after the intervention.
Results
The buccal mucosa cell viability score was significantly lower in the experimental and treatment control groups than in the healthy control group subjects (P < 0.001). Micronucleus score was significantly higher in the experimental and treatment control groups compared to the healthy control group subjects (P < 0.001). The caspase-3 reactive cells and micronucleus scores were significantly more in the experimental group subjects compared to treatment control group subjects (P < 0.001). There was a negative but statistically non-significant correlation between cell viability and micronucleus score among three groups of subjects.
Conclusion
The use of fluoride mouthwash and toothpaste in the presence of stainless-steel attachments and nickel-titanium archwire decreased the buccal cell viability by 8.51 % and increased the micronucleus score by 3.03 %. The use of fluoride toothpaste and mouthwash had a significant cytotoxicity effect on buccal mucosa cells in the presence of nickel-titanium archwire during comprehensive orthodontic treatment.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Oral Biology and Craniofacial Research (JOBCR)is the official journal of the Craniofacial Research Foundation (CRF). The journal aims to provide a common platform for both clinical and translational research and to promote interdisciplinary sciences in craniofacial region. JOBCR publishes content that includes diseases, injuries and defects in the head, neck, face, jaws and the hard and soft tissues of the mouth and jaws and face region; diagnosis and medical management of diseases specific to the orofacial tissues and of oral manifestations of systemic diseases; studies on identifying populations at risk of oral disease or in need of specific care, and comparing regional, environmental, social, and access similarities and differences in dental care between populations; diseases of the mouth and related structures like salivary glands, temporomandibular joints, facial muscles and perioral skin; biomedical engineering, tissue engineering and stem cells. The journal publishes reviews, commentaries, peer-reviewed original research articles, short communication, and case reports.
