The influence of the essential oil of Melaleuca alternifolia on the healing of infected dental alveoli: a histological study in rats

Abstract: RESUMO: "Infl uência do óleo essencial de Melaleuca alternifolia na cicatrização de alveolite dental infectada: um estudo histológico em ratos". A planta Melaleuca alternifolia é nativa da Austrália e a destilação de suas folhas produz um óleo essencial conhecido por óleo de Melaleuca, ou Tea tree oil, usado como antimicrobiano. Nesse estudo, foi verifi cado a atividade deste óleo no processo de reparo de alvéolos dentais infectados. 48 ratos foram utilizados (Rattus novergicus albinus, Wistar) e após a extraç… Show more

“…. This was in accordance with the work done by Kreuger et al [7] and Reagan-Shaw et al [8], Staphylococcus aureus was prepared in the current work to be used for inducing infection in the dog's sockets. Following its removal from blood agar plates and its insertion in sterile bottle with saline until turbidity appeared, it was inducted into the blood clots formed inside the sockets.…”

“…Kreuger et al [7] reported that in their in vitro study, concentrations of 300 mg/mL and 500 mg/mL of TTO caused 50% mortality of the human epithelial cells and fibroblasts after 24 -48 hours of incubation In another study in vitro, the tea tree oil emulsified into culture medium containing 10% fetal calf serum was toxic to monocytes at a concentration of 0.016% v/v and for neutrophils in the same concentration. The high concentration (20%) of neutral gel used in these two experiments could be the reason for the toxicity of the cells.…”

“…Esses mesmos autores indicaram que cerca de 70% das plantas pertencentes a essa família têm potencial terapêutico, sendo utilizadas na medicina tradicional em distúrbios gastrointestinais, estados hemorrágicos e doenças infecciosas. Além disso, diversos trabalhos científicos contemporâneos têm respaldado o uso popular de espécimes dos diversos gêneros de Myrtaceae, por meio de diferentes investigações farmacognósticas, relacionadas aos aspectos botânicos (Paula et al, 2008;Donato & Morretes, 2007;Cardoso & Sajo, 2004;Soffiatti & Angyalossy-Alfonso, 1999), fitoquímicos (Wannes et al, 2008;Cole et al, 2007;Hussein et al, 2007;Migliato et al, 2007;Guo & Yang, 2006;Oliveira et al, 2006) e de atividades biológicas (Salvagnini et al, 2008;Biavatti et al, 2007;Kreuger et al, 2007;Medeiros et al, 2007;Oliveira et al, 2007;Serafin et al, 2007;Alves et al, 2006;Amaral et al, 2006;Apel et al, 2006;Barbosa Filho et al, 2006;Bezerra et al, 2006;Gondim et al, 2006;Lima et al 2006).…”
