RESUMO

Bone defect healing is a constant concern to several areas of Dentistry. A great variety of materials is currently used to help in the healing process as well as to speed it up. Materials such as autografts, xenografts, membranes, some drugs, and the association of some of them are being used. Simvastatin, a substance used to reduce cholesterol levels, has shown, in some studies, a capacity to stimulate bone formation. The purpose of the present experimental study is to evaluate the influence of the association of sinmvastatin with bovine demineralized bone matrix on the healing of bone defects in rats calvariae. Bone defects were produced in the calvariae of 48 rats, thus each animal had a defect in each parietal bone measuring 5mm of diameter. The rats were grouped according to the graft material used: the control group which didnt receive any substance; the simvastatin-demineralized bone matrix group which received an association of simvastatin and bovine demineralized bone matrix; and the demineralized bone matrix group which received bovine demineralized bone matrix. The animals were sacrificed after thirty or sixty days. After the sacrifices, digital radiographies were taken of the calvariae in order to analyse the radiographic density in shades of gray. They were also submitted to routine histological preparation for future descriptive histological and histomorfometric analyses of the new formed bone matrix through the use of a software to analyse the images. The data submitted to statistical analysis ANOVA (5%) showed that the animals which received the association simvastatin-demineralized bone matrix presented the smallest density and area of new bone formation of the three groups. According to the methodology used, we concluded that the association simvastatin demineralized bone matrix influenced negatively the bone healing.
