Abstract
This study was undertaken to investigate the cytotoxicity of orthodontic wires after doing various treatments to the wires. 018x025 inch Stainless steel(A) and Co-Cr(B) wires were used and each of them were divided into 4 groups. A-1 and B-1 groups were as received state, and A-2 and B-2 groups were heat treated. A-3 and B-3 groups were electropolished after heat treatment, and A-4 and B-4 groups were soldered with Ag-solder. Each group had 3 wires and these were sterilized with Ethylene Oxide gas. We used human gingival fibroblast cell culture and agar overlay technique to investigate the cytotoxicity of each group of wires. The cytotoxicity of wire was assessed using reaction index (zone index/lysis index). The findings of this study were as follows. 1. Both of the stainless steel wire and Co-Cr wire showed no cytotoxicity in as received state. 2. Heat treatment or electropolishing of the wires had no effect on the cytotoxicity of the wires 3. Soldered stainless steel wires showed a little wider zone of discoloration than soldered Co-Cr wires, but the zone index and cytotoxicity(reaction index) was not different. 4. Soldered wires showed moderate cytotoxicity in both of the wires.
본 연구는 널리 이용되고 있는 두 종류의 교정용 호선에 다양한 처리를 가한 후 호선의 세포독성을 비교, 평가하고자 시행하였다. 018x025 inch 굵기의 stainless steel 호선과 Co-Cr 호선을 실험 재료로 선택하여 stainless steel 호선을 A 호선, Co-Cr호선을 B 호선이라 칭하였으며 각각의 호선을 다시 가해진 처리에 따라 4군으로 나누었다. A-1군과 B-1군은 제작된 상태 그대로의 호선을 이용하였으며 A-2, B-2군은 기기를 이용하여
