Introduction: The resins dental based on siloranes, are the result of chemical bonding between siloxanes and oxiranes. In the process of evolution of the resins, they have changed their formulations to optimize their physical, mechanical and aesthetic properties. However have problems as polymerization shrinkage, allergic and toxicological problems. Objective: determine the potential cytotoxic effect of siloranes based resins on cell viability in cultured fibroblast line L929. Methodology: The exposure of mouse L929 fibroblasts to commercial dental resins based on either, methacrylate Filtek P60 or silorane Filtek P90 for three curing times was assessed throughout 6 days. Its effect on the cell viability was determined by vital exclusion tests, electron micrographs and ionic composition (Mg, Na, K and Ca) by ESEM/EDAX. Results: The dental resin Filtek p90 displayed a higher cytotoxic effect for prolonged curing times (20 seconds or more) than the resin Filtek P60. Moreover, such an effect was stronger at 20 seconds of curing, as long as the concentration of Ca and K on the cell's surface were the more affected. Conclusions: The dental resin Filtek p90 exerts a relatively low cytotoxic effect on L929 fibroblast cells (p < 0.01), and then, its use can be considered biologically safe in practical dentistry but a prolonged curing time of the silorane-based resin could significantly affect the viability of dental tissues
