OBJECTIVE
The effects of chlorine dioxide (ClO2), sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl), and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) on cell death and the cell cycle of human gingival fibroblast (HGF) cells were examined.
METHODS
The inhibition of HGF cell growth was evaluated using a Cell Counting Kit-8. The cell cycle was assessed with propidium iodide-stained cells (distribution of cells in G0/G1, S, and G2/M phases) using flow cytometry. The patterns of cell death (necrosis and apoptosis) were analyzed using flow cytometry with annexin V-FITC/PI staining.
RESULTS
The lethal doses for 50% of the cells (LD50) of ClO2, NaOCl, and H2O2 were 0.16, 0.79, and 0.11 mM, respectively. All three dental disinfectants induced G0/G1 cell cycle arrest. H2O2 induced apoptosis at concentrations of 0.05 and 0.1 mM, while NaOCl and ClO2 did not induce significant apoptosis at any concentration examined.
CONCLUSIONS
These results suggest that ClO2 is sufficient for use as a dental disinfectant compared with H2O2 or NaOCl.
