ABSTRACT
Objective:
To observe the effects of toadpoison and arsenic on the ultrastructure of dental pulp,Methods:
Dental pulp of 36 teeth in 3 dogs was exposed by operation and then direct dressing with toadpoison paste or arsenic paste was performed. 1,2,6 and 24 hours after operation ,the pulps were processed and examinedunder a trasmission electron microscope (JEM-2000EX).Results:
In toadpoison treated group ,the deformityof the basernembrane of pulp nerve ,swelling of metochondrion,degeneration of nerve axite were observed 1 h after dressing,and were more obvious in 2, 6 and 24 h. Damage of capillary and pulp cells were alsoobserved.In arsenic treated group ,swelling and break of capillaries ,deformity and degeneration of mitochondrion and endoplasmic reticulum in endoepithelial cells were observed,and were more obvious following time lasting. Damages of pulp nerve and pulp cells were also observed.Conclusion:
Toadpoison and arsenic are toxic to pulp tissues. But the angiotoxicity of arsenic is stronger than that of toadpoison,the neurotoxicity and protoplasmic toxicity of toadpoison are stronger than those of arsenic.
