Something is ___ if it is harmonious with life and not having toxic or injurious effects on biologic function
biocompatible
A ___ is any substance, other than a drug, that can be used as part of a system to treat, augment or replace any tissue, organ or function of the body

BOOM!
A ___ is a substance that is not irritating on first exposure but produces reaction on subsequent exposure to similar concentrations
allergen
___ is defined as an inflammatory response brought about without intervention of an antibody or immune system

dis:
questionable relevance, incomplete modeling
one would test cytotoxicity and genotoxicity with a tier __ test
1
Tier 2 tests are done in (vitro/vivo)
vivo, animals specifically
True or false, tier 2 tests are not usage tests
true
LD50 is a measure of what?
systemic toxicity
systemic toxicity, dermal toxicity, inhalation toxicity and implantation response tests are done with tier __ tests
2
What are the advantages and disadvantages in tier 2 tests?
adv:
intact biological organism

dis:
not a usage test, no controls, difficult to interpret, expensive, questionable relevance, ethical treatment questioned
Tier __ tests are usage tests
3
Clinical trials are considered tier __ tests
3
materials used in human volunteers are tier __ tests
3
True or False, tier 3 tests are often difficult to define
True
pulp and dentin, pulp capping and pulpotomy, and endodontic tests on humans would fall under tier __ tests
3
What are the advantages and disadvantages of tier 3 tests?
adv:
direct evidence of success or failure, relevant, measures complete response

dis:
time-consuming, expensive, difficult to control, difficult to interpret, ethics questioned
Which of these is LEAST toxic in vitro but MOST toxic in clinical trials?

silicate cement
resin composite
ZOE cement
silicate cement
Which of these is the least toxic in clinical trials but the MOST toxic in vitro?

silicate cement
resin composite
ZOE cement
ZOE cement
False negatives and false positives can occur when using (one/many) screening tests
many (it's better to constantly screen throughout the evaluation process)
Dental materials are considered ___ by the FDA
devices
dental materials only need to show safety and efficacy, T or F
True
According to the FDA, "devices" have (extensive/no) chemical action in the body
no
drugs must show safety and efficacy like devices, but must ALSO show ___
usage
ISO 10993 classifies dental materials by ___ conditions
exposure

such as:
duration
surface-contact
externally-communicating device
implanted device
Historically, materials were used (before/after) tested
before
True or False, nowadays, public pressure and hysteria can accompany discoveries in biocompatibility and past materials are in question with a lack of data
True
In the future, materials will be tested (before/after) use
before
The following are considerations for biocompatibility:

corrosion in metals and degradation in ___

release of agents (what, how much, how long?)

routes of ___ to the body like oral mucosa or respiratory
