摘要: The neon-colored orthodontic rubber bands have recently become remarkably popular to wear among the young patients. In this study we examined if dyes used in manufacture of these elastics might exhibit any toxic effects. Gingival fibroblasts were exposed extracts colored and plain vitro. Cytotoxicity was by cellular proliferation rate viability. Results showed that both display identical This ex vivo cytotoxicity, however, could not be observed patients: gingival fibroblast viability is no different patients with without band wear. We conclude vitro conditions, all are cytotoxic. Clinically, effect demonstrable.
