Article Synopsis
  • The study evaluated the histological response of dental pulp when treated with two materials—alendronate and Biodentine—during a direct pulp capping procedure on rabbits.
  • Twenty-four anterior teeth were tested, with one group capped with alendronate and the other with Biodentine, followed by a 30-day observation period for histological analysis after the rabbits were euthanized.
  • Results showed that Biodentine formed a more uniform and dense dentin bridge with less inflammation, indicating better biocompatibility, while alendronate produced varied results but still promoted reparative dentin formation.

Concrete is widely used in civil engineering applications and the natural aggregates which used in concrete are scarce, but its demand is increasing. The disposal of rubber tyres poses a significant environmental challenge, as their decomposition releases harmful chemicals into the soil and water bodies over many years. Decomposition of tyres should be done in a smart way and hence came the emergence of mixing recycled rubber crumbs into concrete as Rubberised Concrete (RC).

Kinase enzymes play an important role in cellular proliferation, and inhibition of their activity is a major goal of cancer therapy. Protein kinase inhibitors as benzimidazole derivatives can be applied for prevention or treatment of cancers through inhibition of cell proliferation. To evaluate their protein kinase inhibitory effects, as well as the study for active benzimidazole derivatives.
