Cytotoxicity of two self-adhesive resin cements and their interference in the phagocytic activity of murine macrophages.

Objectives:This study aimed to evaluate in vitroMaterials and Methods:Cell viability assays, cell adherence, yeast phagocytosis of Saccharomyces boulardiiResults:After long periods of contact, both types of cements, when not photoactivated, are more cytotoxic for macrophages. The seT PP cement when only chemically activated seems to interfere more negatively in the process of phagocytosis of yeasts S. boulardii.Conclusions:Our results highlight the great importance of the photoactivation of self-adhesive resin cements in the dental clinic, since RelyX U200, when photoactivated, presented the best results within the evaluated parameters.
