“…The SS White pumice stone and the abrasive powder of the finishing and polishing 3M sandpaper produced discrete to moderate forms of lympho-plasmocytes in all samples at all times. These findings are in agreement with the literature (3)(4)(5)(7)(8)(9)11,(13)(14)(15). The presence of lympho-plasmocyte cells is also reported by Daley and Wisocki (1) and Gordon and Daley (2) where foreign particles frequently containing calcium, silicon and aluminum were found in the interior of gingival tissues.…”

“…This indicates that the abrasive substances contained in the Herjos-F paste caused the different results compared to the paste without abrasives, and the presence of calcium carbonate in this paste caused the differences observed with the SS White pumice stone. Contrasting with the reports involving abrasive substances or chemical elements which are part of them, only Sheikh et al (15) reported the presence of acute inflammatory infiltrate when magnesium silicate was subcutaneously implanted in mice.…”

This study evaluated the clinical and histological manifestations produced by the submucuous implant of abrasive dental materials in the rat tongue. A total of 128 rats were divided into 4 groups of 32 rats each, according to the material selected for the implant: Herjos-F prophylactic paste both in its normal composition as well as lacking its abrasive components, SS White pumice stone and the abrasive powder of the 3M finishing and polishing sandpaper. The specimens were submitted to clinical and histological analyses at 30, 60, 90 and 120 days. After 90 days, the formation of nodular lesions in animals implanted with materials containing abrasive substances was observed. Histologically, these materials produced marked chronic granulomatous reactions. Herjos-F prophylactic paste produced the greatest reaction. However, without the abrasive components, this paste caused the mildest tissue reactions, with no inflammatory response, that was seen in a progressively greater number of cases after 90 days.

“…The time for this absorption to occur, however, has not been clarified. Sheikh et al 32 showed that most of the starch powder granules had been disappeared by the fourth week in rats undergoing a laparotomy. Cade and Ellis, however, found that, in rats undergoing laparotomy, 34 excised peritoneal nodules and band adhesions for pathological examination from patients undergoing re-laparotomy for several reasons.…”

“…The latter has been introduced in the form of Keoflo or Biosorb, which differ in their crosslinkage of starch particles. It has been shown that the larger the amount of cross-linkage (2% in Biosorb versus 0.3% in Keoflo), the less absorbable is the material [9].…”

One century ago surgical gloves were introduced to practice as part of the new antiseptic technique and originally to protect the hands of the surgeon and his assistants from the harmful dermatologic effects of powerful antiseptics (e.g., carbolic acid) in use at that time. Since then, the wearing of gloves during surgery has been standard practice. Furthermore, the protection value of surgical gloves in preventing cross-infection has stood the test of time. Nevertheless, materials used in glove manufacturing have caused a succession of iatrogenic problems in surgical patients over the years. More recently, emergence of transmissible viruses, such as hepatitis B and C and human immunodeficiency virus, has led surgeons to consider their own safety with the frequent possibility of perforation of surgical gloves by sharp instruments. In this review we discuss the problems associated with surgical glove practice: glove powder-induced peritonitis and adhesions, latex rubber-associated hypersensitivity, and glove perforation.
