Investigating the residual effect of silver nanoparticles gel as an intra-canal medicament on dental pulp stromal cells.

Dentin discs treated for 7 days with concentrations of AgNPs gel (0.01-0.02%) allowed more than 90% DPSCs cell attachment after 24 hours. The cytotoxicity and proliferation of DPSCs in response to AgNPs gel were comparable to those with calcium hydroxide. This suggests that AgNPs gel may represent a promising future candidate for clinical use in regenerative endodontics. However, its effects may be concentration-dependent warranting further investigation.
