Tissue response to implanted dental material in rabbits

Abstract

Aim of the study: is to assess the tissue compatibility of implanted dental material.
Material and methods: fourteen albino rabbits were used for subcutaneous implant
for 14 days of different dental metallic material includes titanium, cobalt chrome
and nickel chrome.
Result: titanium and cobalt chrome show fibrous capsule formation while nickel
chrome shows necrotic tissue filled the area of the implant.
Conclusion: to minimize biologic risk, dentists should select dental materials that
have the low tissue toxicity, allergy and sensitivity, with proper manufacturing and
quality control of metals.
