Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the effect of gamma sterilization and its effect on microscopic structure of deeply frozen dog skull. Subjects and methods: 50 pairs of dog skull fragments have the same size,which were taken symmetrically through the midline of the skull, were divided into two lots. Evident lot consisting of 50 pieces are just deeply frozen, not irradicated. Experimental lot which was composed of 50 pieces were deeply frozen and exposed to 25kGy of gamma radiation. Afterwards, to evaluate the effect of gamma sterilization and compare the alter of bone matrix between lot groups. Results: After gamma irradiation, all dog skull fragments were negative with bacteriological examination. In microscopic scale, no difference was found between the two lots and there was no structural change in the irradiated fragments of all dog skull. Conclusion: Gamma irradiation with 25 kGy: (i) It has the ability to kill bacteria completely in the type of bacteria commonly infected tissue. (ii) It does not alter the structure of dog skull in microstructures. Key words: dog skull, gamma, sterilize
