In vitroEffect of Mouthrinse Containing Essential Oils on Proliferation and Migration of Gingival Epithelial Cells

Abstract

We aimed to investigate in vitro the effects of mouthrinses containing essential oils (EOs) on proliferation and migration of gingival epithelial cells. Human gingival epithelial cells were treated with predetermined dilutions of commercially available EO mouthrinses with or without ethanol and a mouthrinse containing cetyl pyridinium chloride (CPC) for 60 s. Cell proliferation was evaluated using WST-1 assay. Cell migration was assessed using a wound closure model. Within 10 s of exposure to EO mouthrinse without ethanol, the epithelial cells became aberrant and shrank. No statistically significant difference in cell migration or proliferation was observed among cells pretreated by the EO mouthrinse with ethanol, CPC mouthrinse and control (phosphate buffered saline). In contrast, the EO mouthrinse without ethanol significantly reduced cell proliferation (p < 0.001) to approximately 20% relative to control. As for the EO mouthrinse without ethanol, it was not possible to assess its effect on cell migration using this model, because treated cells could be easily detached from the culture plate upon scratch, possibly because of the surfactant ingredient in the formulation. Within the limitations of the study, the EO mouthrinse with ethanol exerted no inhibitory effect on proliferation and migration of the gingival epithelial cells.

Avaliação dos efeitos da Eugenia Dysenterica em cultura primária de células de mucosa gengival e ligamento periodontal

“…Existem metodologias diversas para avaliar o efeito de drogas no processo de cicatrização de feridas, como por exemplo a câmara de Boyden, os sistemas de dispositivos microfuídos (86), e o Scratch (teste de fechamento de ferida), o qual foi utilizado em nossa pesquisa. Em estudo recente, Yoshikawa e colaboradores, 2016 (113), relataram os efeitos in vitro de óleos essenciais que não apresentaram efeito inibitório na proliferação celular de epitélio gengival. Schmidt e colaboradores, 2009 (114), observaram uma maior atividade de plantas brasileiras (Waltheria douradinha, um estudo com células imunológicas.…”
