Abstract
BACKGROUND/PURPOSE: Various polyphenolic compounds from plants have been confirmed to have different pharmaceutical functions. The purpose of this study was to evaluate citrus polyphenol (CP) for dental applications. A medium with CP was developed to improve oral wound healing. The CP could be used as a supplemental compound in mouthwash for periodontal diseases. METHOD: In this study, the metabolic activity and cell toxicity of CP (1%, 0.1%, and 0.01%) for fibroblasts were investigated by MTT and lactate dehydrogenase assays (n = 6). The effect of CP on motility of fibroblast was also evaluated via a wound healing model. RESULTS: The growth of Hs68 cells on TCPS was greatly increased in the presence of 0.01% CP. In addition, the significant difference (p<0.01) of cell toxicity of fibroblast was observed after 6 days in 0.01% CP medium. Using the wound healing model, it was also found that CP could enhance the migratory ability of fibroblasts. CONCLUSION: The results confirm the feasibility of CP be a supplemental compound in mouthwash for treatment of periodontal diseases in dental application to improve wound healing in the mouth.
