CTZ and Calcium Hydroxide Pastes Did Not Cause Hepatic and Renal Alterations in Mice

ABSTRACT Objective: To evaluate the possible renal and hepatic alteration by root canal filling pastes in mice. Material and Methods: Fifty-four mice were divided into nine groups and received one polyethylene tube implant containing two filling pastes (CTZ or calcium hydroxide pastes). Empty polyethyl...

Analysis of the biocompatibility of a biocelulose and a poly L- lactic acid membrane

Braz. j. oral sci; 21 (), 2022
The use of selective barriers as resorbable membranes has become a routine clinical procedure for guided bone regeneration. Therefore, the production of membranes with a low inflammatory potential during their resorption process has become the goal of a considerable number of researches. Aim: The purpose...

Cutaneous leiomyosarcoma: a 20-year retrospective study and review of the literature

An. bras. dermatol; 96 (3), 2021
Abstract Background: Cutaneous leiomyosarcoma is a rare malignant neoplasm with muscular origin, representing 2%-3% of all cutaneous soft tissue sarcomas. Objectives: The aim of this study was to characterize clinicopathological features of patients diagnosed with cutaneous leiomyosarcoma in our center...

Photosensitizers and exposure times to light showed tissue compatibility in isogenic mice

Braz. dent. sci; 24 (2), 2021
Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the subcutaneous tissue response after different protocols to photodynamic therapy (PDT). In Phase 1, were tested the diode laser (used for 1min) associated to the photosensitizer phenothiazine chloride solution (PCS) in diffe...

Biocompatibility, biomineralization, and maturation of collagen by rtr®, bioglass and dm bone® materials

Braz. dent. j; 31 (5), 2020
Abstract This study evaluated the biocompatibility, biomineralization, and collagen fiber maturation induced by Resorbable Tissue Replacement (RTR®; β-tricalcium phosphate [TCP]), Bioglass (BIOG; bioactive glass), and DM Bone® (DMB; hydroxyapatite and β-TCP) in vivo. Sixty-four polyethylene t...

Microfilaremia by Cercopithifilaria bainae in a dog from the central western region of Brazil: case report

Cercopithifilaria bainae is a nematode belonging to the family Onchocercidae that parasitizes the subcutaneous tissue of dogs. Its transmission occurs through the tick Rhipicephalus sanguineus and its geographical distribution overlaps that of this vector. The present study reports the detection of micro...

A preformulation strategy for the selection of controlled-release components to simulate a subcutaneous implant

Many chronic diseases require repetitive injections as maintenance treatment. It is therefore important to investigate a possible alternative. A simulated subcutaneous implant prototype was fabricated as a polymer matrix covered by cylinder-shape tubing having a porous membrane. Sucrose, bovine serum alb...

Cytotoxicity, inflammation, biomineralization, and immunoexpression of IL-1β and TNF-α promoted by a new bioceramic cement

J. appl. oral sci; 28 (), 2020
Abstract Aim To evaluate the cytotoxicity, biocompatibility and mineralization capacity of BIO-C PULPO, and MTA. Methodology L929 fibroblasts were cultured and MTT assay was used to determine the material cytotoxicity on 6, 24, and 48 h. A total of 30 male rats (Wistar) aged between 4 and 6 months, w...
