Irrigant solutions commonly used for the treatment of endodontic infections can be inhibited by both organic and inorganic substances. The aim of this study was to evaluate the in vitro antimicrobial activity of the novel irrigant HybenX and 2.5% and 5% sodium hypochlorite against , in presence of dentine powder (DP) or bovine serum albumin 20% (BSA) as inhibitory agents.

Background: Aim of this study was to compare coronally advanced flap (CAF) and composite restoration of the cement-enamel junction (CEJ) with or without connective tissue graft (CTG) for treatment of single maxillary gingival recession with non-carious cervical lesion (NCCL).

Material And Methods: Thirty patients with single gingival recessions and previously restored NCCL were randomly allocated to the two groups. A masked examiner evaluated recession reduction (RecRed), complete root coverage (CRC), keratinized tissue (KT) gain, increase in gingival thickness (GT), patient satisfaction and Root coverage Esthetic Score (RES).

Blood contamination of the canal during preparation and obturation can be a problem in Endodontics; this may result in apical microleakage. The purpose of this investigation was to observe and evaluate the hemostatic properties of biofilm decontaminant material (sulfonic/sulphuric acid solution, HybenX, EPIEN Medical) used in teeth with necrotic pulp and unstoppable bleeding after root canal shaping. A prospective study was designed with 2 randomized parallel groups: decontaminant material (experimental group) and sodium hypochlorite 5% (control group).

Background: Peri-implant soft tissue may be critical to prevent inflammation and promote gingival margin stability. The purpose of this randomized clinical trial (RCT) is to compare xenogeneic collagen matrix (XCM) versus connective tissue graft (CTG) to increase buccal soft tissue thickness at implant site.

Materials And Methods: Soft tissue augmentation with XCM (test) or CTG (control) was performed at 60 implants in 60 patients at the time of implant uncovering.
