Notes:
Cytotoxicity of Ni ions were examined using C3H mouse derived 10T1/2 fibroblast cells. It became evident that Ni ions had dose-dependent cytotoxicity. The cell number incubated in DME medium containing 0·04 mm/L Ni ion for 6 days was reduced to half that in control DME medium without Ni. The cell totally disappeared in DME medium containing 2 mm/L Ni ion. The dissolution of Ni ions from Ni-containing metallic restorations must be lower than these concentration levels so that oral tissues might not be damaged. No neoplastic transformation was found on all cells examined.
