EFFECTS OF SOME RESTORATIVE MATERIALS ON THE PROLIFERATION OF OSTEOBLASTIC CELL AND THE TISSUE REACTION OF BONE

수종 수복재의 조골세포 유사세포 증식 및 골조직 반응에 미치는 영향

Numerous materials such as amalgam, IRM, SuperEBA, dessicated ZOE, and Ketac-Silver have been used as a root-end filling material or to repair furcation perforations. But so far no material has been found to satisfy all of the requirements of an ideal restorative material. Recently, mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) has been suggested for use as a root end filling material and for the repair of furcation perforations. The purpose of this study was to compare the effect of MTA on the proliferation of MC3T3/E1 osteoblastic cell, formation of bone nodule, alkaline phosphatase activity, and finally the tissue reaction of bone with those of amalgam, IRM, SuperEBA, dessicated ZOE, and Ketac-Silver. The following conclusions were drawn within the limits of the experimental results : 1. MTA showed a excellent proliferation of osteoblastic cell and Ketac-Silver showed moderate proliferation of osteoblastic cell. The rest of test materials showed no proliferation of osteoblastic cell. 2. Many of definite bone nodules were found in the MTA group. In contrast, Ketac-Silver group showed no definite bone formation but only showed mild sign of bone formation. 3. Alkaline phosphatase activity of Ketac-Silver and MTA showed similar results. But both of them showed higher activity than that of other materials (p<0.005). 4. The tissue reaction to implanted MTA in the calbarium of mouse was milder than that observed with other materials. The tissue reaction of dessicated ZOE showed the worst results among the test materials.
