dc.description.abstract | Previous studies have utilized in vitro alloy cytotoxicity tests to evaluate dental casting alloys. The purposes of this study were to: (1) evaluate the precision of the optical density and visual tests previously used, (2) evaluate a new test measuring absorbance of solubilized formazan dyes, and (3) test the correlation between these tests for cytotoxicity. Balb/c 3T3 cells were plated in 24-well culture trays at 25,000 cells/cm2 around ten types of dental casting alloy (six samples/alloy) and incubated for 72 h. Cells were histochemically stained with MTT (3-[4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl]-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide) succinate for 2 h, then fixed, washed, and dried. Toxicity was measured by optical densitometer (OD) scanning, visual assessment, and 560-nm absorbance of DMSO-solubilized dyes. Measurements of rings of inhibition were not used, because they did not provide precise data, and correlated poorly with the other methods. The results were analyzed by ANOVA, Tukey intervals, and coefficients of variation (CV's). MTT required shorter incubation times for adequate staining, allowed for solubilization of the monolayers, and was less expensive than NBT (2,2'-di-p-nitro-phenyl-5,5'-diphenyl-3,3'-dimethoxy-[3,3'-dimethoxy-4,4'-biphenylene] ditetrazolium chloride). Results showed that all three methods ranked alloy toxicities similarly (p = 0.05). The solubilization method was most discriminating due to lower CV's. Correlation between densitometer and solubilization methods was excellent (R2 = 0.96). Between-experiment CV's were generally less than 20%, and often less than 10%. Between-sample CV;s were generally less than 20%. CV's were consistently lower for the solubilization method. Thus, all methods were repeatable and correlated well, but the solubilization method was more precise and discriminating. | en_US |
