| Popis: | In vivo biocompatibility of glass ionomer cements (GICs) was evaluated for use in orthopaedic surgery using a rat model and compared with conventional bone cement, Polymethyl methacrylate, PMMA. The unset GICs and PMMA were inserted into the marrow cavities of rat femora and retained in situ for various periods of time. The PMMA bone cement showed complete biocompatibility with no interference with reparative bone. The conventional GIC with smaller glass particles and lower powder/liquid ratio showed an initial minor toxic effect on rat bone tissue with later disturbance of adjacent bone formation. The conventional GIC with larger-size glass particles and higher powder/liquid ratio and resin-modified GIC showed more severe toxic effect on rat tissue with the resin-modified GIC affecting the rat bone tissue later. The causes of toxicity associated with the conventional GIC with larger glass particles and higher powder/liquid ration and the resin-modified GIC are thought to be related with the unreacted acid component of both materials and longer ongoing metallic ion release. |
