Abstract

This study was carried out to evaluate the cytotoxicity and anti-inflammatory effects of Resina Pini on cultured human gingival fibloblasts. We carried out a study of cytotoxic effects of Resina Pini on cultured cells by MTT assay. Various treatments on Resina Pini reduced its toxicity on cultured cells in order of natural Resina Pini, water extracted mixture of Resina Pini and Ramus Mori Albae and recrystalized Resina Pini. However, Resina Pini showed harmless levels of cytotoxicity to cultured human gingival fibroblast. (omitted)
