Antimicrobial Effects of Formulations of Various Nanoparticles and Calcium Hydroxide as Intra-canal Medications Against Enterococcus faecalis: A Systematic Review.

The combination of calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)₂) and nanoparticles (NPs) offers a promising approach to improving the efficacy of intra-canal treatments. Their synergistic effects can enhance antimicrobial action, improve penetration, and promote better healing outcomes in endodontic therapy. This review article examines the antimicrobial efficacy of various nanoparticles combined with Ca(OH)₂ against () compared to Ca(OH)₂ alone as an intra-canal medicament.

The Efficacy of Aloe vera Against Enterococcus faecalis as an Intracanal Medicament: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Calcium hydroxide (CaOH) is commonly used as an intracanal medicament due to its antimicrobial properties; its antibacterial property depends on the release of hydroxyl ions. By analyzing experimental in vitro studies related to the research question, many studies carried out bacterial inoculation on extracted human teeth or laboratory Petri dishes. This review article seeks to assess the antimicrobial efficacy of Aloe vera (AV) against  in comparison to CaOH as an intracanal medicament.

Endodontic Access Cavity Design and Fracture Resistance: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Conventional vs. Newer Access Cavity.

The era of minimally invasive dentistry has led to the development of new access cavity designs. The impact of various access cavity designs on the fracture resistance of teeth has been extensively studied. The primary aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis is to evaluate and compare the effects of recent modifications in endodontic access cavity design- specifically, conventional, conservative, and truss designs on tooth fracture resistance.
