Introducción: el canfenol plus, es un derivado clorado del fenol empleado de forma habitual como medicación intraconducto durante los tratamientos pulporradiculares en Estomatología. Son escasos los estudios en relación con sus efectos sobre el músculo liso vascular arterial y la participación del endotelio en estos. Objetivo: determinar la dependencia endotelial del efecto de canfenol plus 3 % sobre el músculo liso vascular arterial. Material y Métodos: se realizó una investigación experimental preclínica utilizando 26 anillos de carótida externa desprovistos de endotelio vascular. Las preparaciones realizadas se colocaron en baño de órganos, registrándose la tensión desarrollada por el músculo liso vascular tras la adición de acetilcolina, así como de soluciones de canfenol plus 3 % durante diferentes intervalos de tiempo. La dependencia entre ambas tensiones, se determinó a través de un modelo de regresión lineal simple. Resultados: tras la preactivación con solución Krebs concentrada de iones potasio, la adición de 10 µl de acetilcolina y canfenol plus 3 %, indujeron una discreta, pero significativa vasorrelajación de la musculatura lisa vascular. El modelo de regresión lineal elaborado, demostró la dependencia entre las variables tensión producida por acetilcolina y tensión producida por el fármaco al décimo minuto, corroborando la implicación del endotelio vascular en dicho efecto relajante. Conclusiones: el canfenol plus 3 %, produjo in vitro, un efecto vasorrelajante sobre la musculatura lisa de anillos de carótida externa, dependiente de endotelio y a partir de un factor relajante o hiperpolarizante derivado de este.

Introduction: Camphenol plus is a chlorinated phenol derivative commonly used as intracanal medication during pulporradicular treatments in Dentistry. Studies in relation to its effects on arterial vascular smooth muscle and the involvement of the endothelium in them are scarce. Objective: To determine the endothelial dependence of the effect of 3 % camphenol plus on arterial vascular smooth muscle. Material and Methods: A preclinical experimental research was carried out using 26 external carotid artery rings devoid of vascular endothelium. The preparations made were placed in an organ bath, recording the tension developed by the vascular smooth muscle after the addition of acetylcholine, as well as 3 % Camphenol plus solutions during different intervals of time. The dependence between both tensions was determined through a simple linear regression model. Results: After pre-activation with Krebs concentrated potassium ion solution, the addition of 10 µl of acetylcholine and 3 % camphenol plus induced a discrete but significant vasorelaxation of the vascular smooth muscle. The linear regression model developed demonstrated the dependence between the variables tension produced by acetylcholine and tension produced by the drug at the tenth minute, corroborating the involvement of the vascular endothelium in that vasorelaxant effect. Conclusions: It is concluded that 3 % Camphenol plus in vitro, produced a vasorelaxant effect on the smooth muscle of external carotid rings dependent on endothelium and from a relaxing or hiperpolarizing factor derived from it.
