Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on regenerative endodontic techniques, specifically assessing the effectiveness of 0.2% chitosan and papain as alternatives to 17% EDTA for promoting fibrin formation in root canals with open apices.
- Twenty-five freshly extracted human mandibular premolars were used in the experiment, which involved comparing the fibrin density after different irrigation treatments.
- Findings indicated that the combination of EDTA-NSS and papain resulted in higher fibrin density compared to the use of chitosan, showing positive results for all irrigants tested in revitalizing dental pulp tissue.
Aim: The aim of the study is to evaluate the inhibitory effect of single-bottle and two-bottle self-etch adhesive system after surface pretreatment with 6.5% proanthocyanidin (PA) on cysteine cathepsins (CCs) present in dentin hybrid layer using gelatin zymography.
Materials And Methods: Thirty-five samples of dentin measuring 3 mm × 3 mm were obtained from 35 caries-free human third molars which were divided into seven groups.
Introduction: Root canal sealers exhibit varying degrees of cytotoxicity to periapical tissues. This in turn results in inflammation, delayed wound healing, and even bone resorption. This study aimed to explore the effect of the addition of an antioxidant like pachymic acid on the cytotoxicity of 4 root canal sealers, namely, Tubliseal (Kerr, Romulus, MI), a zinc oxide eugenol-based sealer; AH Plus (Dentsply De Trey GmbH, Konstanz, Germany), an epoxy resin-based sealer; Sealapex (Kerr), a calcium hydroxide-based sealer; and EndoREZ (Ultradent Products, South Jordan, UT), a methacrylate resin-based sealer.
