Effects of Composite Restorations on the Periodontal Membrane in MonkeysVeterans Administration Medical Center and The University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, Michigan 48105

Veterans Administration Medical Center and The University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, Michigan 48105 We evaluated the histopathological response of the periodontal membrane to intentionolly-replanted teeth carrying composite (experimental) and silver amalgam (control) restorations in the middle third of each root. The study revealed that the amalgam produced, in the periodontal tissues, an initial localized inflammation that subsided with the subsequent formation of a fibrous capsule. However, the periodontal membrane adjacent to the composite resin restorations demonstrated chronic inflammation. It was concluded that the composite evoked chronic inflammatory responses of the periodontal tissues in monkeys.
