12. Local effects: are a function
of the ability of substances to be
distributed to these sites, their
concentrations, and exposure
times .
Site: the pulp, peridontium, the
root apex, or buccal mucosa or
tongue.
-inflammation or necrosis
13. Systemic effects: are a
function of the distribution of
substances released from materials.
Enter the body via ingestion and
absorption in the gut, inhaled
vapor, release at the tooth apex, or
absorption through the oral
mucosa.
( simple diffusion or transport via the
lymphatic or blood vessels).

15. Cytotoxicity Tests:
assess cell death caused by a
material by measuring cell
number or growth before
and after exposure to that
material
16. Dentin disk barrier test method:
The material is placed on one
side of the dentin disk.
-Collection fluid (cell culture
medium or saline) is on the other
side of the disk.
Components of the material
may diffuse through the dentin
and the effect of the medium on
cell metabolism can then be
measured
17. to test for skin/mucosa
irritation and systemic toxic
effects but also for the
potential of type IV
sensitization to materials.
45. Schematic of set-up of antimicrobial photodynamic therapy treatment.
The light source used is (He-Ne) laser. The mirror guides the light beam
through a microscope objective (10 ×) to adjust the beam spot to the
size of the well diameter.
