Abstract EN
Eugenol (mixed with zinc oxide powder) is widely used as direct capping material during pulp therapy in primary teeth.
The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of eugenol on diverse genes involved in inflammatory and cell apoptosis processes.
The regulatory effect of eugenol on the expression of inflammation and apoptotic genes was evaluated in dental pulp fibroblasts from extracted third molars, cultured under concentration of eugenol of 13 μM.
Eugenol allowed the expression of inflammatory and apoptotic genes when compared with positive and negative controls.
Eugenol is a proinflammatory agent when it is in direct contact with healthy tissues and behaves as an anti-inflammatory agent in tissues undergoing inflammatory/apoptotic processes, as in cases of pulp inflammation in primary teeth.
These findings are relevant for dentistry, when considering the application of safer pulp treatments to grossly carious children’s teeth.
