OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of titanium tetrafluoride solution on L929 fibroblasts by scanning electron microscopy. Titanium tetrafluoride was then compared with sodium fluoride and acidulated phosphate fluoride. METHODS Cells were treated with fluoride solutions for 1 minute either directly, through a filter membrane with a pore size of 0.4-micron, or indirectly, through dentin disks; they were then investigated at an electron microscopic level. RESULTS Fluoride application on smeared dentin disks showed fewer cytotoxic effects on fibroblasts than application on nonsmeared dentin disks. Acidulated phosphate fluoride and titanium tetrafluoride appeared to be more cytotoxic than sodium fluoride. Because all fluoride solutions used in this study contained the same fluoride concentration, pH was considered to be the main factor causing the higher toxicity. CONCLUSIONS Because these solutions demonstrated toxicity in vitro, they must be further evaluated under in vivo conditions to ascertain their clinical safety.

D008855	Microscopy, Electron, Scanning	Microscopy in which the object is examined directly by an electron beam scanning the specimen point-by-point. The image is constructed by detecting the products of specimen interactions that are projected above the plane of the sample, such as backscattered electrons. Although SCANNING TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY also scans the specimen point by point with the electron beam, the image is constructed by detecting the electrons, or their interaction products that are transmitted through the sample plane, so that is a form of TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY.
