Introduction: Several irrigants have been used for disinfection in regenerative endodontic procedures including chlorhexidine (CHX). In this context, the antibacterial properties of disinfectants are mainly in focus of research even though they may have an undesirable impact on the fate of stem cells. In this study, we hypothesized that CHX has both a direct effect when applied to stem cells of the apical papilla (SCAPs) and an indirect effect when SCAPs are exposed to dentin previously conditioned with CHX. Methods: Cell toxicity was evaluated in vitro using the CellTox green fluorescence assay (Promega, Madison, WI) and CellTiter-Glo (Promega) after SCAPs were exposed directly to a dynamic concentration range of CHX; apical papilla explant cultures were stained with ApopTag (Merck Millipore, Billerica, MA) after culture with CHX. Furthermore, standardized slabs from human dentin were treated with CHX and consecutively rinsed in EDTA, L-alpha-lecithin (Sigma-Aldrich, St Louis, MO), or L-alpha-lecithin followed by EDTA. After that, SCAPs were cultured on the slabs for 5 days, and cellular viability was determined (indirect effect). Data were treated nonparametrically and analyzed using the Krukal-Wallis test (P <=.05). Results: Direct exposure of SCAPs to CHX highly affected cell viability at concentrations above 10(-3)%, whereas lower concentrations had no adverse effect. During the initial 60 minutes, concentrations of 10(-2)% CHX or higher resulted in early pronounced toxicity with a maximum effect within 15 minutes after exposure. Likewise, CHX-conditioned dentin slabs were detrimental to SCAP survival; however, the deleterious effects were completely reversed by neutralization with L-alpha-lecithin. Conclusions: Chlorhexidine is toxic to SCAPs when applied directly or indirectly via conditioned dentin. If applied for a short time and neutralized by L-alpha-lecithin, it can be a gentle and cell-preserving disinfectant before endodontic regeneration.
