| Abstract | ||||
| Purpose: The goal of this study was to see how varying concentrations of nanocurcumin (NC) affected the culture of periodontal ligament fibroblastic cells (PDLFCs). Materials and Methods: Nanocurcumin was prepared at concentrations (10 µmol/mL, 3 µmol/mL, 1.5 µmol/mL, 0.7 µmol/mL and , 0.3 µmol/mL ). Periodontal ligament fibroblastic cells were extracted, characterized using Flowcytometry and cultured in Dulbecco's Modified Eagle Medium (DMEM). The healthy PDLFCs served as the positive control group, however the PDLFCs of periodontitis patients were divided into two subgroups. 1st subgroup: PDLFCs treated with NC different concentrations , counted by hemocytometer and Cell proliferation assay was done by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) at 24 ,48 , and 72 hours for calculation of NC half maximal effective concentration ( EC50) at each interval then detection of cell apoptosis when treated with the resultant NC EC50 . 2nd subgroup: untreated cells were used to compare with each result. Results: There was a statistically significant difference in the mean Log10 cell count, cell viability %, and optical density between the 10µmol/mL nanocurcumin and all concentrations of nanocurcumin, and the overall p value for intergroup comparison was highly statistically significant. Conclusion: Nanocurcumin had no in vitro cytotoxicity to PDLFCs at any concentrations used by MTT assay. Nanocurcumin may be a promising medicine for periodontitis treatment and periodontal regeneration. | ||||
