Autogenous particulate dentin has been used successfully as a bone grafting substitute. The aim\u0000of present study was to evaluate the effect of demineralized and mineralized freeze-dried bone allograft and particulate dentin on\u0000osteoblasts-like cells and human periodontal fibroblasts.\u0000Materials and methods: Demineralized freeze-dried bone allograft (DFDBA) and freeze-dried bone allograft (FDBA) and ground\u0000dentin was used in the study. Particulate dentin was divided into four groups according to the size of the particles and demineralization\u0000- small dentin (particle size less than 200 µm), small dentin demineralized, large dentin (particle size 250-1200 µm), large dentin\u0000demineralized. Effect of all the specimens was checked on osteoblast-like cells (MG63) and human periodontal ligament cell lines.\u0000Percentage of surviving cells was measured using colorimetric MTT assay spectrophotometrically on 7th and 14th day of the cell\u0000culture. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used to check the cellular attachment.\u0000Results: Demineralized dentin matrix has shown significantly enhanced viable cell percentage for both the cell lines. DFDBA and\u0000demineralized dentin has reported comparable percentage of surviving cells. Dentin seems to be more compatible with osteoblastslike cells than fibroblast. FDBA has shown the least favorable results. Cellular attachment for both the cell lines can be appreciated\u0000on SEM images.\u0000Conclusion: Demineralized particulate dentin has reported considerable percentage of cell viability making it a reasonable option\u0000for bone grafting substitute.","PeriodicalId":252788,"journal":{"name":"Global Dentistry","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129076009","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
