The purpose of this study was to qualitate the penetration of the major components of 4-META/MMA-TBB adhesive resin (4-META resin) and to characterize their influence on the in vitro and in vivo wound healing of dental pulp tissues. Fresh 4-META resin was applied to rabbit mesentery; its components penetrated the mesentery to form three of layers, depending on the amounts of monomer components in the tissue. The superficial layer was a soft-tissue hybrid layer (STHL), the intermediate layer contained small particles of polymerized 4-META resin, while the deepest layer contained unpolymerized monomer components including MMA and butanol, which were detected by gas chromatography (GC). To characterize the in vivo effects of the deepest layer, we immersed the pulp tissue in MMA or in 5% 4-META/MMA and autotransplanted it to placement beneath a rabbit kidney capsule. The MMA-immersed pulp was positive for osteocalcin and presented osteodentin formation at 7 days, as did the untreated control pulp tissue. In contrast, the 5% 4-META/MMA-immersed pulp collapsed into the cell-deficient fibrous connective tissue, with slight calcification by 7 days and less osteodentin formation at 14 days. Analysis of these data suggests that MMA does not inhibit osteogenic activity of pulp tissue, while 5% 4-META/MMA does inhibit osteogenic activity to some extent.

Key Words: 4-META/MMA-TBB resin • dental pulp • osteogenic activity • in vivo • in vitro.
