Cytotoxicity of curcumin in human gingival fibroblasts. Cells were seeded at 5 × 103 cells per well in 96-well plates and treated with varying concentrations of curcumin or DMSO for 24 h. Cell viability was measured using the MTT assay. The data are presented as the mean ± standard deviation. *p < 0.05 compared to the control group
