Objective: To explore the protective effect of allicin on nicotine-induced oxidative damage to human periodontal ligament cells (HPDLCs).
Methods: (1) Establish nicotine-induced oxidative damage model on HPDLCs. Use water-soluble tetrazolium (WST) colorimetric method to find out the nicotine concentration (X) that could inhibit HPDLCs' growth for the following experiments.
