Abstract:The objective of this work is to evaluate the cytotoxicity, acute and chronic inflammatory response and mutagenicity of a high porosity bioactive glass (BG60S), produced by sol-gel method. The BG60S analyzed by direct contact and elution tests showed cytotoxic levels compatible with
international standards (ISO 10,993-5). The BG60S extract reduced by ≈50% the cellular viability of L929, CHO and CPis cells measured by the MTT assay. The diluted extract (1:3) restored the cellular viability. We did not find edem… Show more
