Determination of biocompatibility: A review
نویسندگان
چکیده
Toxicity of a material upon placement in patient’s oral cavity triggers the immune system to elucidate an appropriate response. Thus, one of the many fundamental responsibilities bestowed on the dentist is to shield patients from any untoward reaction. A plethora of dental materials is currently available in the market. The material has to advance several tests in order to be safely introduced for clinical practice. This review highlights the spectrum of tests routinely practiced for evaluation of biocompatibility.
