RESUMO

This study aimed to microscopically investigate the effect on the dental resorptive process of subgingival implants of ELVAX polymer with peptide echistatin in reimplantation of upper incisors in rats. For this purpose, 42 animals were used and divided into groups with and without echistatin. Extra alveolar socket period was 30 and 60 minutes and post-surgical experimental periods were 15, 60 and 90 days. Specimens were processed and stained with H.E. to observe the biological processes in the area. The microscopic events were evaluated by two examiners. Quantitative histomorphometric and descriptive evaluation of the events were performed according to the presence, type and location of the inflammatory response, incidence of resorptions or dental ankylosis. The level of agreement between examiners determined by the Kappa index, proved to be almost perfect for all variables. The comparison between the experimental and control groups for the variables presented was performed using the Mann-Whitney test and showed no statistical difference between the administration of echistatin and extra alveolar socket period relative to the inflammatory intensity in different portions of the root. Regarding the type of resorption established, it was noted that the presence of inflammatory resorption was significantly higher (p<0.05) in the control group on days 30 and 60 minutes in the postoperative period of 15 days. Dental ankylosis was also significantly more prevalent in the group treated with echistatin in extra alveolar socket period of 30 minutes and 15-day trial period. There was even more dental ankylosis in control group with 60 minutes of extra alveolar socket, with the trial period of 60 days. In the trial period of 90 days all specimens studied featured inflammatory resorptives processes and absence of dental ankylosis. The Kruskal-Wallis test assessed significant differences between groups in relation to the intensity of inflammation by root third, resorption type of and dental. Individual comparisons were performed with Dunn test and showed significant differences between groups in relation to the test observation period. The variables tested were also evaluated by Spearman correlation test, which showed that there are substantial or very strong positive correlations among the variables: intensity of inflammation in the cervical third and the medium third, intensity of inflammation in the cervical 1/3 and apical 1/3 inflammatory intensity in the middle 1/3 and apical 1/3. It also highlighted the significant negative correlation between type and intensity of inflammatory resorption of middle 1/3 root. The use of subgingival ELVAX implants with echistatin shown to have therapeutic potential in preventing the inflammatory resorptive process in the experimental model of reimplantation of upper incisors in rats.
