Biocompatibility of electrochemically activated aqueous solutions: an animal study
1Department of Restorative Dentistry, Faculty of Dentistry, University of Pretoria.
Abstract:
The purpose of the study was to evaluate the biocompatibility of electrochemically activated aqueous solutions on experimental animals. Nine rabbits were subjected to acute eye irritation/corrosion tests, nine rabbits to acute dermal irritation/corrosion and 30 rats to acute oral toxicity (LD50) tests. No significant negative effects were noted. Considering the relatively high levels of exposure of the animals to the solutions and the low levels in the anticipated real clinical situation it is argued that these solutions are indeed biocompatible.
