Özet

Recently, there have been considerable developments regarding aesthetic restorative materials (composite resins). They were used for front teeth in the past and more recently used for posterior teeth. The aim of our study was to investigate the effect of implantation of composite resin filling material into the connective tissue of rabbits. For this purpose, in 7 rabbits before and 1 and 7 days after composite implantation, xanthine oxidase activities and malondialdehyde levels were measured. They significantly increased. One day and 7 days after implantation, total (enzymatic plus non-enzymatic) superoxide scavenger activity, and non-enzymatic superoxide scavenger activities in erythrocyte significantly increased. Additionally, both baseline and 7th day superoxide dismutase activity was higher than in the 1st day. 7th day catalase activities were increased when compared to both baseline and 1st day values.
