introduction: the purpose of this study was to compare the subcutaneous tissue responses of freshly mixed or set endodontic root canal sealers ( i.e. roekoseal, ah26, ah plus) in wistar albino rats. materials and methods: seventy-two male albino rats weighing 200-250g were used. the animals were randomly divided into six groups of 12 rats each. root canal sealers were implanted in subcutaneous ...

Biocompatibility testing for a new implant material is necessary before clinical use. The materials bone scaffolding must also go through biocompatibility tests both in vitro and vivo. purpose of this study was to compare different staining methods histological preparations assess the tissues. Twenty Wistar rats (n= 20), aged 4 months, males, weighing about 250-350 g were divided into 2 researc...

New medical products, materials and surgical procedures keep improving current health-care practices. Many of these innovations involve polymeric devices that must meet certain clinical and cost requirements. Chief among these pressures is the need for biocompatibility between the physiological environment and the biomaterial surface. Plasma surface modification can improve biocompatibility and...

• Pre-validation study on comet assay for detecting site of contact genotoxicity. Acrylic implants containing EMS (AF + EMS) was used as test item. AF showed DNA damage at using whereas negative Ames and chromosome aberration test. Implants may cause ‘site genotoxicity’ without systemic Comet has potential use in medical device biocompatibility assessment. Toxicological risk assessment devices ...

statement of problem: many attempts have been made in order to evaluate the amalgam corrosion behavior as an indicator of biocompatibility. purpose: the aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the initial corrosion of four different brands of dental amalgams. materials and methods: four different types of commercial high copper dental amalgam were studied. a special mold was used and twen...
