Cytocompatibility and Antibiofilm Activity of Calcium Hydroxide Mixed with Essential Oil and Bio-C Temp Bioceramic Intracanal Medicament.

Calcium hydroxide represents the most commonly used intracanal dressing between sessions; however, it may not be effective against all types of microorganisms. Several compounds of plant origin have attracted increasing attention from researchers in recent years. The objective of this study was to evaluate the cytocompatibility and antimicrobial activity of calcium hydroxide associated with the essential oil of and the new bioceramic intracanal medicament Bio-C Temp.

Antimicrobial Activity on and of Ethanolic Extracts.

Oral diseases are one of the biggest public health problems worldwide, caused by opportunistic pathogens such as and . (priprioca) is a plant conventionally used in traditional medicine in the Amazon region. However, little is known about the possible dentistry-related uses of extracts from the rhizomes and solid waste generated by the extraction of essential oils from this vegetable.

Effect of different activation methods on the intratubular penetration of CaOH paste: Ex-vivo analysis by confocal laser scanning microscopy.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the maximum penetration depth (MPD) and penetration area (PA) of CaOH paste agitated by different methods and to measure the pH after performing these methods. Fifty-five mandibular premolars were divided into control, GL and 4 experimental groups, GEC, GXP, GEDDY and GI (n = 11), where the paste was agitated with Easy Clean, XP-endo Finisher, EDDY and Irrisonic, respectively. The canals were instrumented and irrigated with NaOCl.

The impact of endodontic irrigating solutions on the push-out shear bond strength of glass fiber posts luted with resin cements.

Resin-based restorative materials, widely used to cement posts, may be influenced by irrigants used during endodontic chemical-mechanical preparation. This study evaluated the impact of endodontic irrigating solutions and adhesive cement systems on the push-out shear bond strength of glass fiber posts to root dentin. Ninety-six bovine incisors were divided into 12 groups (4 irrigants × 3 resin cements; n = 8).

Assessment of the antibacterial activity of calcium hydroxide combined with chlorhexidine paste and other intracanal medications against bacterial pathogens.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to assess the in vitro antibacterial activity of four formulations of calcium hydroxide [Ca(OH)(2)] pastes against Enterococcus faecalis, Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Streptococcus mutans.

Methods: A broth dilution test was performed, and the lengths of time for different pastes to kill the microbial cells were recorded and statistically analyzed. The following medications were assessed: Group I - Ca(OH)(2) + 2.

Endodontic treatment of dens invaginatus with a periradicular lesion: case report.

A left maxillary lateral incisor with Type III dens invaginatus with a periradicular lesion was treated non-surgically. Pulp involvement and periapical abscess subsequent to contamination through the invagination space were observed. The signs (sinus tract) and symptoms ceased after treatment.
