[Histamine releasing and immunomodulating activity of dental restorative materials].

Histamine releasing and immunomodulating activity of the following dental restorative materials (DRM) - Prizmafil, Filtek Z250, XRV Herculite Prodigy, Glasiosite, Te-Econol, Valux Plus, Polofil Supra were studied. It was shown that DRM under study as a rule did not possess the ability to release histamine (H) from human blood basophile (BB) excluding Filtek Z250 which release H from BB in patients with allergy and sound donors. The studied DRM implanted under mouse skin were able to modulate immune response to the allergen, at that some of them increased antibodies of IgE-class forming and other suppressed immune response caused by IgG-antibody forming.

[Histamine releasing activity of dental materials as the indicator of their biocompatibility].

Different types of dental materials (DM) were studied for their capacity to release histamine in vitro from basophils of whole blood of allergic patients and healthy donors using automated and computerized glass fiber-based leukocyte histamine release test (LHRT). It was shown that some types of DM possessed ability to release histamine from basophils and some didn't. There were no differences in histamine releaseability from basophils obtained from allergic patients and healthy donors.

[Immunomodulating activity of dental materials used for filling of dental root canals].

In experiments on mice immunomodulating activity of root canal pastes (Septodent, Foredent and Sealite Regular) was studied concerning immune response to model allergen. In order to study immunomodulating effect of root canal pastes the authors have used the model of standardized immunization by model allergen ovalbumin (OA) of mice (CBA x C57BL/6)F1. OA (Sigma) was used as model allergen in all experiments both for mice immunization and for testing anti-OA IgE- and IgG-antibodies in reaction of passive skin anaphylaxis in rats and in reaction ELISA.

[Histamine-releasing activity of dental materials employed as root canal filling].

Four samples of dental materials (DM) estd for root canal filling, Septodent (S), Zinkoxide (Z), Foredent (F) and Cialite Regular (CR), were studied for their ability in vitro to release histamine (HR) employing the computerized fiber glass based histamine release assay using whole blood from allergic patients and healthy donors. It was found that F induced high and S low levels of HR from blood basophils from both allergic and non-allergic subjects. Z and CR did not induce HR from blood basophils similar to the negative control.
