Cureus | Assessment of the Influence of Various Concentrations of Sodium Hypochlorite on Stem Cell Derived From Human Exfoliated Deciduous Teeth (SHED) Proliferation and Differentiation
Objectives Previous research has established that sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) has a detrimental effect on dental stem cell viability and maturation. However, a review of the literature revealed no study evaluating the response of NaOCl to the survival of stem cells derived from human exfoliated deciduous teeth (SHEDs). Hence, the aim of the present trial was to assess the influence of various dilutions of NaOCl on SHED proliferation and differentiation. Materials and Methods The 5.25% NaOCl solutions at concentrations of 0.5, 0.1, 0.025, 0.0125, and 0.005 mg/ml were used to assess the respo...
