Abstract;The cytotoxicity of calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)2) on human diploid fibroblasts (WHE-7 cells) and human gingival fibroblasts (GFB cells) was examined. The growth of WHE-7 cells and GFB-cells was not suppressed by treatment with Ca(OH)2 at 0.003%-0.03% for 24-72h. The cytomorphological changes of both fibroblasts with Ca(OH)2 were not microscopically observed. The concentration of calcium ion (Ca2+) from calcium hydroxide at 0.003%-0.03% for 72h were increased in a dose-related manner. That of calcium ion in the cell on the other hand did not change.
