ABSTRACT
This study was evaluated the response of subcutaneous connective tissue of isogenic mice to calcium hydroxide-based pastes with chlorhexidine digluconate (CHX). Seventy isogenic male BALB/c mice aged 6-8 weeks and weighing 15-20 g were randomly assigned to 8 groups. The animals received polyethylene tube implants as follows Groups I, II, and III (n=10) - Calen® paste mixed with 0.4 percent CHX (experimental paste; Calen/CHX) for 7, 21, and 63 days, respectively; Groups IV, V, and VI (n=10) - UltraCal™ paste mixed with 2 percent CHX (experimental paste supplied by Ultradent Products Inc.; Ultracal/CHX) for 7, 21, and 63 days, respectively; and Groups VII and VIII (n=5) empty tube for 7 and 21 days, respectively. At the end of the experimental periods, the implants were removed together with the surrounding tissues (skin and subcutaneous connective tissue). The biopsied tissues were subjected to routine processing for histological analysis. Using a descriptive analysis and a four-point (0-3) scoring system, the following criteria were considered for qualitative and quantitative analysis of the tissue around the implanted materials collagen fiber formation, tissue thickness and inflammatory infiltrate. A quantitative analysis was performed by measuring the thickness (µm), area (µm²) and perimeter (µm) of the reactionary granulomatous tissue formed at the tube ends. Data were analyzed statistically by the Kruskal-Wallis test and Dunn's post-test (á=0.05). Calen/CHX showed biocompatibility with the subcutaneous and reactionary tissues, with areas of discrete fibrosis and normal conjunctive fibrous tissue, though without statistically significant difference (p>0.05) from the control groups. In Groups I to III, there was a predominance of score 1, while in Groups IV to VI scores 2 and 3 predominated for all analyzed parameters. UltraCal/CHX, on the other hand, induced the formation of an inflammatory infiltrate and abundant exudate, ...
RESUMO
O objetivo do presente estudo foi avaliar a resposta do tecido conjuntivo subcutâneo de camundongos isogênicos frente a pastas à base de hidróxido de cálcio, associadas ao digluconato de clorexidina (CHX). Setenta camundongos isogênicos BALB/c machos, com 6-8 semanas e pesando 15-20 g foram aleatoriamente divididos em 8 grupos. Os animais receberam implantes de tubos de polietileno contendo Grupos I, II e III (n=10) - pasta Calen® associada à CHX a 0,4 por cento (Calen/CHX), por 7, 21 e 63 dias, respectivamente; Grupos IV, V e VI (n=10) - pasta UltraCal™ associada à CHX a 2 por cento (pasta experimental fornecida pela Ultradent Products Inc.; Ultracal/CHX), por 7, 21 e 63 dias, respectivamente; e Grupos VII e VIII (n=5) - tubo de polietileno vazio, por 7 e 21 dias, respectivamente. Decorridos os períodos experimentais, os implantes foram removidos juntamente com os tecidos circundantes (pele e tecido conjuntivo). Os tecidos foram submetidos ao processamento histotécnico de rotina, para análise histopatológica. Empregando um sistema de escores, os seguintes critérios foram considerados para a análise qualitativa e quantitativa fibrosamento, espessura tecidual e infiltrado inflamatório. Foi efetuada, também, a análise quantitativa da medida da espessura (µm), área (µm²) e perímetro (µm) do tecido granulomatoso reacional formado na abertura dos tubos. Os dados obtidos foram submetidos à análise estatística, empregando o teste de Kruskal-Wallis e o pós-teste de Dunn. O nível de significância adotado foi de 5 por cento. Os resultados demonstraram biocompatibilidade da pasta Calen associada à CHX a 0,4 por cento com o tecido adjacente, com fibrosamento discreto, assim como tecido conjuntivo normal, sem diferença estatística significante com os controles (p>0,05). Nos Grupos I, II e III houve predominância do escore 1, enquanto que nos Grupos IV, V e VI houve predominância dos escores 2 e 3, em todos os parâmetros analisados. Em relação ...
