In order to evaluate the safety of hydroxyapatite sinter produced from tuna bone in Syrian hamsters, oral mucous membrane irritation test was carried out. Oral mucous membrane irritation test was infected in Syrian hamsters as dose of 5 g/kg BW with hydroxyapatite sinder under pentobarbital sodium anesthesia. Each animal`s left cheek pouch was everted, and the samples were loosely placed at the bottom of the pouch with a double-suture technique for 14 days. Hamsters of control group were treated without inserting the hydroxylapatite sinter. Any abnormal clinical signs in both cheek pouches of control and treatment group were not observed for 14 days. There were no significant differences in body weight changes between hamsters of control and treatment group. Therefore, it suggest that hydroxyapatite sinter produced from tuna bone has no particular changes of oral mucous membrane irritation in Syrian hamsters.
