Abstract

Background: Dental materials can induce various tissue reactions, impacting treatment outcomes and patient safety. Objective: Through a retrospective analysis of clinicopathological data, the histopathological characteristics of tissue responses linked to various dental materials used in Pakistani dental clinics will be examined. Methodology: The retroactive research ran from January 2024 till June 2024. Included were 196 instances overall including recorded histological investigations of oral tissues connected to dental materials. From hospital records, clinical and histological data including patient demographics, type of dental material, and kind of tissue reactions were gathered. Using SPSS version 26, statistical analysis was conducted using Chi square test assessments of relationships. Results: After composite resin (25.51%) and glass ionomer cement (20.41%), amalgam (30.61%) was the most often used dental material. Following fibrosis (22.96%), lichenoid responses (15.31%), and chronic inflammation (40.82%), the most often occurring histological response was While fibrosis (p=0.068) and mucosal hyperplasia (p=0.170) were not statistically significant, dental materials were shown to have significant correlations with chronic inflammation (p=0.012), lichenoid responses (p=0.027), and foreign body granulomas (p=0.048). Conclusion: The results underline the diverse histological reactivity to various dental materials, therefore stressing the importance of cautious material choice to reduce negative reactions.
