Aim: This study evaluated three concentrations of butyl toluidine blue (BuTB) for antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) in experimental periodontitis (EP) in rats.Material and Methods: EP was ligature-induced at the first mandibular molar in 105 rats.Ligature was removed after 7 days and animals were distributed into the following treatments: SRP, scaling and root planing (SRP) plus saline solution; BuTB-0.1, SRP plus BuTB at 0.1 mg/mL; aPDT-0.1, SRP plus BuTB at 0.1 mg/mL and InGaAlP diode laser (DL) irradiation; BuTB-0.5, SRP plus BuTB at 0.5 mg/mL; aPDT-0.5, SRP plus BuTB at 0.5 mg/mL and DL irradiation; BuTB-2.0, SRP plus BuTB at 2 mg/mL; aPDT-2.0, SRP plus BuTB at 2 mg/mL and DL irradiation. Five animals from each group were submitted to euthanasia at 7, 15 and 30 days post-treatment. The furcation area was submitted to histological, histometric and immunohistochemical (TGF-ß1, OCN and TRAP) analyses.Results: aPDT-0.5 group presented a better tissue remodeling in all periods, resolution of the inflammatory response and bone neoformation areas at 30 days. aPDT-0.5 also resulted in higher immunolabelling patterns of TGFβ1 at all periods (p<0.05) and of OCN at 30 days (p<0.05).Conclusion: aPDT-0.5 showed the best benefits for inflammatory response and periodontal repair process.

RESUMOA preocupação e necessidade por edificações mais sustentáveis nos últimos anos tem movido pesquisadores e cientistas a desenvolverem materiais que diminuam o impacto ambiental, com menos resíduos e poluentes e que não gerem tantos esforços energéticos, tornando-se mais facilmente degradáveis. Nessa linha de pensamento após a arquitetura modernista, novos conceitos de sustentabilidade na construção civilcomeçaram a surgir, entre eles o High Tech à sua evolução o Eco Tech. Neste artigo será tratado a arquitetura tardo modernista de Richard Rogers, conhecido mundialmente hoje pela tectônica utilizada que fundamenta-se não apenas no decorativismo, agregando a sustentabilidade, sem comprometer a inovação de suas obras.

RICHARD ROGERS AND TRANSITION OF HIGH-TECH FOR ECO-TECH ABSTRACTThe concern and need with Sustainable Buildings More in the last year has moved researchers and scientists develop materials one what a reduce the environmental impact, with less waste and pollutants and what a not generate so many energetic efforts, making -If more easily degradable. I thought this line after modernist architecture, new concepts of sustainability in civil construction began to emerge, eels among the High Tech your evolution Eco Tech. This article will treaty architecture latemodernism Richard Rogers, known worldwide today for tectonic used what a based -If not just not decorativism , adding sustainability without compromising innovation your works.
