Although several studies have shown that chlorhexidine digluconate (CHX) has bactericidal activity against periodontal pathogens and exerts toxic effects on periodontal tissues, few have been directed to evaluate the mechanisms underlying its adverse effects on these tissues. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to investigate the in vitro cytotoxicity of CHX on cells that could represent common targets for its action in the surgical procedures for the treatment of periodontitis and peri-implantitis and to elucidate its mechanisms of action. Osteoblastic, endothelial and fibroblastic cell lines were exposed to various concentrations of CHX for different times and assayed for cell viability and cell death. Also analysis of mitochondrial membrane potential, intracellular Ca2+ mobilization and reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation were done in parallel, to correlate CHX-induced cell damage with alterations in key parameters of cell homeostasis. CHX affected cell viability in a dose and time-dependent manners, particularly in osteoblasts. Its toxic effect consisted in the induction of apoptotic and autophagic/necrotic cell deaths and involved disturbance of mitochondrial function, intracellular Ca2+ increase and oxidative stress. These data suggest that CHX is highly cytotoxic in vitro and invite to a more cautioned use of the antiseptic in the oral surgical procedures. (C) 2007 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
