Furthermore, in the Discussion section,

“However, it is reasonable to suppose that topical application during vital pulp therapy may pose a much lower risk of side effects compared to systemic application32,37,51,52; in vivo studies using rat models reported that systemic use of SrRn (625 g/kg) is well tolerated and safe with no adverse side effects53,54.”
