Effectiveness in root canal disinfection and biocompatibility of a final in vitro irrigation protocol based on cellulases and a hyperosmotic solution.

Objective: To evaluate the antimicrobial capacity and cell viability of a final irrigation protocol based on the use of a hydrolases enzymes mixture (HEM) and a hyperosmotic solution (HS) as an alternative to conventional protocols.

Methods: Root canals from 28 human first molars were used to develop multispecies anaerobic biofilms in standard reactors and irrigated with various protocols according to the following groups. Group A: control (sterile saline), group B: 2.

Presence and Causes of Sterilization Equipment Failures with Biological Indicators in Dental Offices in Mexico: A Longitudinal Cohort.

: Sterilization in dental practice is crucial for infection prevention. The aim of this study was to identify the presence and causes of bacterial growth using biological indicators in dental sterilization equipment in San Luis Potosí, S.L.

Development and Validation of UPLC Tandem Mass Spectrometry Assay for Ceftibuten and Sulbactam in Human Plasma.

A sensitive and rapid ultra-performance liquid chromatography coupled with -tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) method was developed and validated to determine ceftibuten (CTB) and sulbactam (SUL) in human plasma. An ACQUITY UPLC HSS T3 C18 (2.1 × 100 mm), 1.

Development and evaluation of ciprofloxacin local controlled release materials based on molecularly imprinted polymers.

The aim of this study was the molecular imprinting polymers (MIPs) assessment as a controlled release system of ciprofloxacin. The MIPs synthesis was performed by three different methods: emulsion, bulk, and co-precipitation. Lactic acid (LA) and methacrylic acid (MA) were used as functional monomers and ethylene glycol dimethacrylate as crosslinker.
