Cell cultures were established from small samples of buccal tissue, using a 3T3 fibroblast feeder-layer technique. After exposure to increasing dilutions of three proprietary oral rinses for 22 h or 2 h, the effects upon cell proliferation were studied by measurement of [3H]-thymidine incorporation into cellular DNA. Cell membrane damage was assessed by measurement of lactate dehydrogenase content. Cultures exposed to hexetidine-containing or chlorhexidine-containing rinses for 22 h at dilutions of 250-fold or lower showed almost complete inhibition of [3H]-thymidine incorporation. Cultures treated with benzydamine-containing rinse at the same dilutions showed no significant inhibition of incorporation. Exposure to the same dilutions of hexetidine- and chlorhexidine-containing rinses for 2 h resulted in 65% and 20% inhibition of incorporation, respectively. Lactate dehydrogenase content decreased to negligible levels after exposure to the rinse containing hexetidine at a 250-fold dilution, but was unaffected by the other two rinses. Thus dividing buccal epithelial cells in vitro may be adversely affected by exposure to certain commercial oral rinses.
