LUTING AGENTS DIFFERENTIALLY MODULATE INFLAMMATION AND MATRIX METALLOPROTEINASES IN CONNECTIVE TISSUE
Journal Title: Revista Científica do CRO-RJ / Rio de Janeiro Dental Journal - Year 2018, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate the tissue response and expression of matrix metalloproteinases (MMP) -2 and -9 to resinous and glass ionomer cements in direct contact with the subcutaneous connective tissue. Methods: RelyXTM Unicem resinous cement (RC; n=30), KetacTM Cem Easymix glass ionomer cement (GI; n=30), and polyethylene empty tubes (control; n=30) were implanted in the dorsal subcutaneous tissue of isogenic BALB/c mice, and the tissues were biopsied after 7, 21, and 63 days for histological analysis. The inflammatory cells and fibroblasts were counted, and the fibrous capsule thickness was measured. MMP -2 and MMP-9 expression levels were investigated by immunohistochemistry. Data were analyzed statistically (significance level=5%). Results: We found that RC induced a low inflammation at day 7 and 21, which was increased at day 63 (p<0.05). GI induced a more intense mononuclear inflammatory response at day 7 and 21 (p<0.05), which was reduced at day 63 to levels similar to the control (p>0.05). The fibrous capsule thickness was thin for RC, GI, and control (p>0.05).MMP-2 was detected early for GI and RC and decreased afterwards. MMP-9 presented a similar pattern for GI, whereas the MMP -9 expression was late for RC. Conclusion: Resinous cementRelyXTM Unicem induced an inflammatory response and late MMP -9 expression in the subcutaneous connective tissue that was different from that induced by KetacTM Cem Easymixglass ionomer cement.
