A Comparative Evaluation of the Periodontal Ligament Cell Viability Using Placentrex, Propolis, and Hanks' Balanced Salt Solution: An In-Vitro Study.
Curēus 2024 April
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Most of the dento-alveolar trauma that occurs frequently in childhood is often linked to avulsion injuries. Two considerable elements influencing the prognosis of tooth avulsion after replantation are extraoral dry duration and the characteristics of the storage media to support the viability of cells. The study aimed to compare and assess the effectiveness of Hanks' balanced salt solution (HBSS) (HiMedia Laboratories, Thane, India) and Placentrex (Albert David Limited, Kolkata, India) against propolis (5% and 10%) as storage media in preserving the vitality of periodontal ligament (PDL) cells.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: Four groups with 15 samples each were selected for the study. Sixty recently extracted premolars were left to incubate for 30 minutes in 15-ml falcon tubes containing 2.5 ml of collagenase 0.2 mg/ml in phosphate-buffered saline and 2.4 mg/ml of dispase in HBSS, Placentex, propolis 5%, and propolis 10%. After the addition of bovine serum, it was centrifuged for 4 minutes. Trypan blue 0.4% was utilized to recognize the cells, and a hemocytometer was employed for counting the live PDL cells under a light microscope.
RESULTS: Propolis 5% and 10%, HBSS, and Placentrex all showed statistically significant differences in PDL cell viability; however, HBSS was significantly outperformed by Placentrex and propolis.
CONCLUSION: Placentrex is a superior substitute storage medium in cases of tooth avulsion as opposed to alternatives such as propolis 5% and 10%.
