The control group was represented by cells incubated in phosphate buffered saline (PBS). Cell viability was assessed by means of 0.4% trypan blue dye exclusion test, in triplicate. During the incubation period, images were recorded through an inverted optic microscope to evaluate the cellular morphology. Results: In the control group 98.7% of viable cells were verified, without morphology alterations, while no viable cells were observed in the experimental groups. The kinetics of cytotoxity was concentration-dependent. Conclusion: It was concluded that there was a cytotoxic effect on cultures of human osteoblasts incubated for thirty seconds in sodium hypochlorite in all concentrations (0.5; 1.0; 2.5 and 5.25%) %K sodium hypochlorite %K root canal irrigants %K osteoblas %K toxicity %K hipoclorito de s¨®dio %K irrigantes do canal radicular %K osteoblastos %K toxicidade %U http://www.revistargo.com.br/include/getdoc.php?id=3953&article=853&mode=pdf
