PG - e608-12 LID - 10.1097/SCS.0000000000002112 [doi] AB - PURPOSE: The aim of the study was to compare the viability of periodontal ligament-derived stem/progenitor cells (PDLSCs) from 2 different sources. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Periodontal ligament (PDL) tissue was obtained from 20 surgically extracted human third molars and 20 healthy premolars extracted for orthodontic reasons. Periodontal ligament-derived stem/progenitor cells were isolated from 2 different PDL tissue sources and characterized by colony forming unit assay, cell surface marker characterizations, and their osteogenic differentiation potential. To determine cell viability within 2 groups, the colorimetric 3-(4, 5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2, 5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide (MTT) metabolic activity assay was used. Data were statistically analyzed using independent t-test by SPSS 16 software (SPSS Inc, Chicago, IL). RESULTS: According to the MTT assay, the mean viability rate +/- standard deviation of PDLSCs in the impacted third molar sample cells was 0.355 +/- 0.411 and for erupted premolar sample cells was 0.331 +/- 0.556. Based on One-Sample Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, P value for impacted and erupted teeth was 0.954 and 0.863, respectively. No statistical difference was seen between 2 groups. (P value > 0.05) CONCLUSIONS: Our results demonstrated that if surgical aseptic technique is a method employed to maintain asepsis, PDLSCs obtained from impacted and erupted tooth root would have the same viability rate.
