In Vitro Biocompatibility of Endodontic Sealers Incorporating Antibacterial Nanoparticles

Figure 1

The effect of AH+, Epiphany, and GuttaFlow endodontic sealers on the mitochondrial activity of the L-929 fibroblast cell line. Mitochondrial activity was normalized to the control without sealers stimulation. Stimulated fibroblasts (with heat-killed P. gingivalis) with and without the various endodontic sealers were cultured for 24 hrs. Cell viability was tested using the XTT test. The results are expressed as the mean + SD. Statistically significant differences between the control (media) and the different groups are indicated by asterisks ( 𝑃 < 0 . 0 5 ) and 𝑛 = 8 wells.
