OBJECTIVE To investigate the effects of the static magnetic field (SMF) generated by dental magnetic attachments on osteoblastic proliferations, cell cycle distribution, and apoptosis ratio. METHODS By simulating those of the closed-field, the closure process and the open-field Magnedisc 800 magnetic attachments respectively, the in vitro cultured rat osteoblasts were exposed continuously to 12.5, 125, 250 mT SMF. The effects of the SMF on the proliferation of the cells were examined. MTT colorimetry test was performed to detect the effect of the SMF on the vitalities of cells. Flow cytometry was utilized to analyze the cell cycles and cell apoptosis rates. RESULTS The SMF exposure didn't change the vital osteoblasts number, the cell cycle distribution and proliferation activities of osteoblasts. The cell apoptosis situation were not observed statistical differences. CONCLUSIONS No matter the closed-field, the closure process and the open-field magnetic attachments respectively, continuous simulating SMF-stimulation of magnetic attachments couldn't change osteoblasts proliferation activity, cell cycle distribution, and apoptosis ratio.

D000818	Animals	Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D017209	Apoptosis	A regulated cell death mechanism characterized by distinctive morphologic changes in the nucleus and cytoplasm, including the endonucleolytic cleavage of genomic DNA, at regularly spaced, internucleosomal sites, i.e., DNA FRAGMENTATION. It is genetically programmed and serves as a balance to mitosis in regulating the size of animal tissues and in mediating pathologic processes associated with tumor growth.
