Postoperative pain in primary root canal treatments after Er: YAG laser-activated irrigation: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Lasers Med Sci
January 2025
This systematic review aimed to compare postoperative pain in endodontic treatments using PIPS Er: YAG laser-activated irrigation (LAI) versus conventional needle irrigation. An electronic search was conducted to identify randomized clinical trials (RCT) investigating postoperative pain in patients who underwent root canal treatments in permanent teeth using PIPS Er: YAG laser-activated irrigation or conventional needle irrigation. Two reviewers performed study selection, data extraction, risk of bias assessment (RoB 2.

- - Quinoa oil, rich in unsaturated fats and vitamin E, faces stability issues that limit its use in food and cosmetics, but nanoencapsulation offers a solution by improving its dispersibility and enhancing its bioactive properties.
- - The study utilized O/W emulsification with porcine gelatin and whey protein to encapsulate quinoa oil, resulting in particles with smooth surfaces, appropriate sizes, and high encapsulation efficiency.
- - Testing showed that both free and nanoencapsulated quinoa oil were non-toxic to various cell types, and the nanoencapsulation significantly boosted antioxidant activity and enzyme inhibition, suggesting its potential for innovative applications.
Oleogels are semi-solid systems that can function both as replacers of trans and saturated fats and/or as carriers of lipophilic bioactive compounds. However, bioactive compounds can affect the structure of the oleogel matrix and this effect depends on the properties of such compounds. Therefore, the aim of this study was to develop oleogels loaded with β-carotene (BC) or resveratrol (R), with low concentrations of glycerol monostearate (GMS, 2-5 wt%) and sunflower oil as organic solvent.
