Avaliação da resposta inflamatória e processo de reparo do tecido subcutâneo de ratos, em contato com diferentes cimentos endodônticos

Abstract

The aim of this study was to evaluate the inflammatory response and repair process in subcutaneous tissue from the rats to four different sealers: Sealer 26, Epiphany, AH Plus and Endofill. Polyethylene tubes filled with fresh sealer were implanted in the four separate pockets created by blunt dissection in regions of the dorsum of each one of the third five male Wistar rats used. After 7, 14, 21, 42 and 60 days of post operatory, the implants were removed with the surrounding tissue, processed for inclusion in paraffin for the analysis histopatological. Qualitative and quantitative analysis was performed on HE sections as well as picro sirius (PS) sections. The intensity of the inflammatory response was evaluated and were scored as: 0- no inflammation;1- mild inflammation; 2- moderate inflammation or 3- severe inflammation. Fibrous capsule thickness was evaluated on PS sections using polarization. The measurements were subject to non parametric analysis. Results: In seven days the subcutaneous tissue of all animals showed characteristics corresponding to the severe inflammatory reaction (p> 0.05). At 14 and 21 days the response inflammatory tissued obtained with the Epiphany and AH Plus sealers showed statistically significant differences compared to the response of Endofill (p = 0.0005, p = 0.0003, respectively). This sealer remained the most aggressive at 42 (p = 0.0203) and 60 days (p = 0.0072) compared to Epiphany. There were no significant differences in the quantity of fibrous collagens among the sealers in the five periods. Conclusion: All tested sealers caused a severe inflammatory reaction in initial periods which decreased along the time. Endofill was the most aggressive sealer on all analyzed periods. The fibrous capsule was formed in all interfaces analyzed, presented himself as a protection developed by the tissue to the presence of an irritating material.
