Objective: This research, in epidermis of birds, aims to describe, through a macroscopic analysis the bond strength and by histological method the inflammatory response of the tissue and the biocompatibility of four adhesives, used in maxillofacial prostheses. Methods: Eight chickens of Gallus Gallus Domesticus race (GGD) were studied divided by two in four Groups. Group I corresponded to Factor II B-200-ES - Daro Adhesive Extra Strength™; Group II to Wimp'rs™ eyelashes adhesive; Group III to Pritt™ glue stick; Group IV to home made eyelashes glue. Silicone pieces were set in the skin of cervical dorsal of the birds with the correspondent adhesive. To Control of the inflammatory response caused by removing the pens manually, two birds of Label Rouge (pescoço pelado - PP) subspecies received in the skin of cervical dorsal the four adhesives studied. These materials were set in a topographic schema of the bird's neck. The results were obtained in two experimental periods (three and seven days). Results: All adhesives studied showed biocompatibility. Factor II adhesive™, B-200 Extra-Strenght™ and home made eyelashes glue showed a satisfactory retention. Factor II™, B-200 Extra-Strenght™, Wimp'rs™ eyelashes adhesive, Pritt™ glue stick and home made eyelashes glue are biocompatibles and harmless. Conclusions: We suggest further studies to evaluate more specifically the retention of adhesives and changes in environment's temperature and humidity.
