Avaliação da biocompatibilidade, por meio de implantes intra ósseos, a 4 tipos de MTAs: um estudo in vivo

Abstract

The material used in retrofilling is among others a decisive factor for the success in parendodontic surgeries; therefore they should have investigated their biocompatible characteristics since they remain in direct contact with the periapical bone tissue. This study investigated the inflammatory response of bone tissue when in contact with four types of MTAs available on the market, through intraosseous implants in guinea pigs, using for that purpose, the methodology recommended by the International Dental Federation (1980) which is internationally accepted (ADA, 1982). Forty guinea pigs were used in experimental periods of four and twelve weeks. Each animal received an implant in each side of the mandibular symphysis region. From each implant it was made 24 blades with 144 histological cuts, stained with hematoxylin-eosin and reviewed by two independent observers. There was similarity between the materials tested, since after 4 weeks all the implants with MTAs ProRoot ® gray and white as well as the ones with MTAs Angelus ® gray and white presented an absent/mild inflammatory reaction evolving into a process of scar repair with affixing of mineralized matrix. Thus, through the methodology employed it was possible to conclude that all types of MTAs, regardless the trademark, were biocompatible promoting similar tissue responses when in contact with the bone tissue.
