Abstract

Samples of blood incubated with OZE, stannous chloride, and 99 mTc were isolated and fractions were separated. Radioactivity of the blood constituents decreased significantly (p < 0.05) due to the OZE. Morphological alterations were also found. Although rats were utilized in these experiments, precaution is recommended in the interpretation of nuclear-medicine examinations in patients that have been treated with OZE in dentistry procedures.
