Dental Implant Techniques and Outcomes

Objective To evaluate the tissue responses to implants of Ketac Silver and Super EBA cement in the guinea pig mandible. Study design. Sixteen guinea pigs were used for 2 experimental periods of 4 and 12 weeks. Both materials were placed in Teflon applicators and implanted into surgically prepared sites in the mandible. A histologic examination for reaction to the material occurred after the animals were killed and processed. Results. After 4 weeks, minimal inflammatory reactions were observed in Ketac Silver implants, whereas the Super EBA implants showed minimal to moderate inflammation. Localized foreign body reaction was present in areas of fragmented small particles of Ketac Silver. At 12-weeks observation, no inflammatory reactions were present around either material. Direct bone contact was observed in 1 Ketac Silver implant. Conclusions. Ketac Silver and Super EBA cement elicited mild reactions under the conditions of this model. From a biologic point of view, these 2 materials may offer equal utility in endodontic surgery.
