Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı; antiapoptotik, antienflamatuar ve antioksidan etkileri olan, osteoblastik hücre farklılaşması ve mineralizasyon nodülü oluşumunu indükleyen metformin adlı ilacın Primer İnsan Gingival Fibroblast (HGF) hücreleri üzerindeki doz bağımlı etkisinin in-vitro olarak incelenmesidir. Bu çalışma daha ileri çalışmalara ve olası insan kullanımlarına ışık olması adına planlanmıştır
Yöntemler: HGF hücreleri besiyerlerine eklenen 11 farklı metformin dozu ile 24 saat kültüre edilmiştir. Her metformin dozu için 3 farklı kuyucuk kullanılmıştır. Bu değerler MTT testi ile ölçülmüştür.
Bulgular: Metformin düzeyleri ile fibroblast canlılığı ve üremesi arasında ters bir orantı olduğu söylenebilir. Ayrıca, metformin düzeylerinin 2 mM ve altındaki değerleri için fibroblast ölçümleri hemen hemen aynı kalmaktadır. Metforminin 2’den büyük değerleri için fibroblast canlılığı ve üremesinin önemli derecede azaldığı görülmektedir.
Sonuç: Faz 2 tedavi ihtiyacını azaltacak, iyileşme periyodunu kısaltacak ve antibakteriyel etki sağlayacak etkili bir lokal ajan bulunması için yapılan çalışmalar sürekli güncelliğini korumaktadır. Rejenerasyona pozitif katkı sağlama ihtimali olan metforminin uygulanacağı bölgedeki öncül hücrelerden olan fibroblastlara etkisinin doz bağımlı değişiminin 2 mM konsantrasyonuna kadar anlamlı bir etki yapmadığı ancak 2 mM’den daha yoğun konsantrasyonlarda sitotoksisite oluşturduğu çalışmamızda gösterilmiştir.

ABSTRACT
Objective: The aim of this study is to investigate the dose-dependent effect of metformin on Primary Human Gingival Fibroblast (HGF) cells in vitro, which has antiapoptotic, antienflamatuar and antioxidant effects, can promote osteoblastic differantitation and mineralization nodules. This study designed to be a precursor for further and possible human studies.
Methods: HGF cells were cultured for 24 hours with 11 different metformin dose added to the medium. 3 different applications were made for each metformin dose. These values were measured with the MTT test.
Results: İn our research, it is shown that there is an inverse relationship between metformin levels and fi- broblast viability and reproduction. Fibroblast vitality measurements didn't show any significant difference on metformin levels, below 2 mM. Fibroblast viability and proliferation appear to be significantly reduced for metformin values of 3 mM and greater than 3 mM.
Conclusion: Studies to find an effective local agent that reduces the need for The Phase 2 treatment, shorten the recovery period and provide an antibacterial effect are constantly up to date. It has been shown in our study that the dose-dependent change of the effect of metformin, which is likely to contribute positively to regeneration, of fibroblasts, which are the precursor cells in the area where it will be applied, does not have a significant effect up to a concentration of 2 mM, but creates cytotoxicity at concentrations of 3 mM and more dense than 3 mM.
