Effect of pomegranate solution alone or combined with chlorhexidine against oral multispecies biofilm.

Aim: Natural bioactive products have been tested as alternative antimicrobial agents. This study evaluated the effect of Punica granatum extract (PGE) on oral multispecies biofilms.

Methodology: Lyophilized extracts from pomegranate peel were prepared, and the punicalagin content was assessed by ultra-performance liquid chromatography (UPLC).

Pomegranate extract on eroded dentin: antioxidant action, bond strength and morphology of the adhesive interface after aging.

Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of pomegranate solution () on eroded dentin through antioxidant action, shear bond strength (SBS) and interface morphology.

Materials And Methods: The 10% pomegranate peel extract was prepared by the lyophilization method. Punicalagin polyphenol was confirmed by high-performance liquid chromatography.

Characterization, Antimicrobial Activity, and Antioxidant Efficacy of a Pomegranate Peel Solution Against Persistent Root Canal Pathogens.

Background: The limitations of dental irrigation solutions reinforce the need to explore novel bioactive compounds that are safer and biodegradable. This study aimed to prepare a 10% pomegranate peel solution ( extract - PGE) and evaluate its antimicrobial and antioxidant effects for root canal treatment.

Methods: Lyophilized extracts (1g/10 mL) from pomegranate peels were prepared, and the punicalagin content was assessed by ultra-performance liquid chromatography using pure punicalagin (standard).

Complexity in subnetworks of a peroxidase-oxidase reaction model.

The peroxidase-oxidase (PO) reaction is a paradigmatic (bio)chemical system well suited to study the organization and stability of self-sustained oscillatory phases typically present in nonlinear systems. The PO reaction can be simulated by the state-of-the-art Bronnikova-Fedkina-Schaffer-Olsen model involving ten coupled ordinary differential equations. The complex and dynamically rich distribution of self-sustained oscillatory stability phases of this model was recently investigated in detail.
