A protocol to provide a more rapid assessment of the fibrogenic potential of an inhaled particulate has been developed. Young rats are exposed nose-only for 6 h/day, 7 days a week for 28 days to a respirable aerosol of the test compound. After exposure the rats are kept for up to 1 year, followed by

## Abstract A series of systemic toxicity tests for various types of compounds are presented with illustrative data and discussed in regard to their relevance as potential screening tests for dental compounds and products. In developing and marketing a new dental material, it is important not only
An attempt has been made to present toxicological results obtained by a biological evaluation method in a simple and comprehensive way. The calculation of a toxicity index which expresses mortality rates as a function of the very important time factor is proposed. Additionally it is shown how such a
## Abstract A portable spectroelectrochemical instrument capable of performing in situ sensing has been developed, extending the applicability of spectroelectrochemistry for chemical sensing. All components of the instrument were designed to facilitate realβtime simultaneous display of optical and
## Abstract A broad dental toxicology screening program has been initiated to develop suitable testing methods for new dental materials or products which presently are not considered as drugs. In the report presented here, 42 materials or products have been included in an acute toxicity screening p
