effect of metronidazole on surcutaneous tissues in rats

ABSTRACT

An attention was paid to evaluate the effect of implants visible light cured resin, and self-cured acrylic resin containing 10% metronidazole, upon the rat connective tissue. The best connective tissue response was obtained when metronidazole was added to self-cured acrylic resin, compared with other tested materials. It can be concluded that some antimicrobial agents can be added beneficially to acrylic resins used in dentistry as means of inflammation reduction, as well as to promote healing
