RESUMO

The aim of this study was evaluate the radioprotective effect of sodium selenite on the socket healing in rats. For this purpose, one hundred male rats were divided in four experimental groups: control, selenium, irradiated and selenium irradiated. All animals were submitted to upper left incisor extraction. The animals belonging to the selenium and selenium irradiated groups received 0,5mg/kg of sodium selenite (i.p) and the animals pertaining to control and irradiated groups received only distilled water (i.p). The irradiated groups received a single exposure dose of 15Gy of X rays in the head and neck region. The animals were sacrificed in 4, 7, 14, 21 and 28 days after surgery and the process of socket healing was evaluated by hematoxylin/eosin. The amount of new-formed bone deposited on the wound was assessed by means of morphometric analysis, using a light microscope. In qualitative evaluation, for all the times studied, the control and selenium groups presented a similar pattern of socket repair. The selenium irradiated and irradiated groups presented a delayed repair process when compared to the non-irradiated groups. The selenium irradiated group presented a socket repairing process more advanced than the irradiated group in 4, 7 and 14 days. The amount of trabeculae linearly increased with the time for the all groups studied. It was observed a statistically significant difference between the irradiated groups and the non irradiated groups. It was also observed that there was not a statistically significant difference between control and selenium groups. Additionally, no statistical differences were observed between selenium irradiated and irradiated groups. Based on the quantitative data, we conclude that sodium selenite did not present a radioprotective effect on the socket healing process, although the slight protection in the 4, 7 and 14 days after surgery observed in qualitative evaluation.
