Abstract
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of commercialized denture adhesives and mouth moisturizers using direct and indirect cell cultures for in vitro examinations with human fibroblast and epithelial cells. Denture adhesives (Faston, Poligrip Powder, New Poligrip Free, Tafugurippu Kurimu, Polident Adhesive, Tafugurippu Tomei) and mouth moisturizers (Concool Mouth Gel, Biotene Oral Balance Gel) were subjected to live and dead detection and pH level determination. The mouth moisturizers showed higher cytotoxicity effects comparing with control on every cell cultures and cells, and pH level did not show any significant differences. However, there was no correlation of type of denture adhesive or mouth moisturizer with cytotoxicity. We concluded that cytotoxicity affects human cells regardless of type of material, though some dependence was noted.
