A Comparative Study of Biocompatibility in Rat Connective Tissue of a New Mineral Trioxide Compound (Theracal) versus MTA and a Bioactive G3 Glass.

The aim of this paper was to assess the differences in tissue response to implantation during 15, 30 and 45 days in the subcutaneous connective tissue of Wistar rats from three biomaterials: Angelus MTA, Theracal LC, and Angelus MTA to which 25% bioglass G3 was added. Twenty-four Wistar rats were used, the materials were inserted into the rat's dorsal area in silicone tubes 5 mm long by 1.5 mm diameter.
