Abstract

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the viability of periodontal ligament cells in rat teeth using slow cryo-preservation method under pressure by means of MTT assay and WST-1 assay. Eighteen teeth of Sprague-Dawley white female rats of 4 week-old were used for each group.

Both sides of the first and second maxillary molars were extracted as atraumatically as possible under Tiletamine anesthesia. The experimental groups were group 1 (Immediate control), group 2 (Cold preservation at 4°C for 1 week), group 3 (Slow freezing), group 4 (Slow freezing under pressure of 3 MPa). F-medium and 10% DMSO were used as preservation medium and cryo-protectant. For cryo-preservation groups, thawing was performed in 37°C water bath, then MTT assay and WST-1 assay were processed. One way ANOVA and Tukey method were performed at the 95% level of confidence. The values of optical density obtained by MTT assay and WST-1 were divided by the values of eosin staining for tissue volume standardization.

In both MTT and WST-1 assay, group 4 showed significantly higher viability of periodontal ligament cells than group 2 and 3 (p < 0.05), but showed lower viability than immediate control group.

By the results of this study, slow cryo-preservation method under pressure suggests the possibility for long term cryo-preservation of the teeth.

The averages and standard deviations of optical density of MTT.

Groups MTT1 Eosin2 MTT/Eosin3
Immediate control 3.01±0.25 0.49±0.11 6.45±1.46a
Cold preservation 0.81±0.26 0.42±0.11 2.08±0.94b

Slow freezing under pressure 1.94±0.44 0.44±0.14 4.71±1.24d

There were significant differences between groups with different subscripts(p<0.05).

The values of MTT1 are proportional to the vitality of the cells.

The values of Eosin2 are proportional to the area of the periodontal ligament cells.

So, the values of MTT/Eosin3 mean the vitality of the periodontal ligament cells per unit area.
