Abstract
Prior to the introduction of any new dental restorative material, certain precautions have to be taken into account. The material should be non-toxic and cause no reactions to surrounding soft tissues and pulpal tissues. One such material termed “Microfine” has been tested in this experiment.
For that purpose, three monkeys (Cynomolgus fascicularis) approximately weighing four kilograms were used for the experiment. Teeth were scaled and cleaned and standard Class V cavity preparations made with a high-speed bur operating under constant water coolant. Two quadrants were used for the experimental material in which some teeth were restored in combination with Dycal. The third quadrant served as a positive control (silicate cements) whereas the fourth quadrant accomodated the negative control material (IRM).
At predetermined intervals of five-days, one month and three months, the animals were sacrificed and the jaws dissected. They were then prepared for routine histology and stained with eosin hematoxilin stain.
