【 摘 要 】

Resilon is a new material that is a candidate to replace gutta-percha as a root filling material. This study evaluated the antiproliferative effect of Resilon and two commercially available gutta-percha points (Roeko, Dentsply). Two established cell lines (L929 and RPC-C2A) were used for the experiment. Cell survival fraction was estimated by the sulforhodamine-B assay, in reference to controls after 48-h exposure. Non-parametric tests (Kruskal-Wallis followed by Dunn's multiple comparisons) were used to evaluate the statistical significance of the results (α=0.05). Cytotoxicity in a descending order was: Resilon > Roeko gutta-percha > Dentsply gutta-percha. At 24-h exposure, no statistically significant differences (p>0.05) were observed between tested materials in both cell lines. At 48-h exposure, statistically significant differences (p<0.05) were found between Resilon and the other materials in the L929 cell line. In the RPC-C2A cell line Resilon was significantly more cytotoxic than Dentsply gutta-percha (p<0.05), but no statistically significant differences (p>0.05) were found between Resilon and Roeko gutta-percha. The cytotoxicity of Resilon increased significantly from 24 h to 48 h in both cell lines. Resilon points were more cytotoxic than gutta-percha points. The cytotoxicity was time dependent and increased after 48 h.
