Genotoxic effect of sodium fluoride on stem cells from human exfoliated deciduous teeth

Introduction: Due to its unique properties, Fluoride has been widely used for the prevention and control of dental caries in dentistry. However, there is much controversy over its toxicity effects such as dental fluorosis, skeletal fluorosis, reproductive, renal, gastrointestinal, immunological, neurological, genotoxicity and carcinogenicity. As DNA damage is the primary step in the carcinogenesis process, so the aim of this study was to evaluate of fluoride genotoxicity on Stem cells from Human Exfoliated Deciduous teeth (SHED). Stem cells are the target of carcinogenesis.

Materials and Methods: SHED in culture medium were exposed directly to sodium fluoride (NaF) at concentrations of 10, 50, 100 PPM. We used methalmetasulfonate(MMS)at 1,5, and 15μg/ml as the positive control and the negative control was culture medium for mesenchymal stem cells. The comet assay was carried out for detecting DNA damage. Damaged cells are comet-like under fluorescence microscopy. Comet analysis was accomplished using computerized image analysis software (CASP). Four parameters containing %Tail DNA (%TD), Tail Length(TL), Tail Moment (TM) and Olive Tail Moment(OTM) were evaluated. Data were analyzed with SPSS version 15.
