Article Synopsis
- Hemostatic agents are commonly used in dental procedures to control bleeding, but they can negatively impact the bonding of resin composites to dentin, making their removal before bonding important.
- The study involved 90 premolar teeth divided into groups treated with either no hemostatic agent, ferric sulfate, or aluminum chloride, with cleanup methods including water, phosphoric acid, katana cleaner, and air abrasion.
- Results showed that the type of hemostatic agent and cleansing method significantly affected bond strength, with phosphoric acid yielding the best results and ferric sulfate showing the lowest bond strength.
The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of repressing leftover heat-pressed lithium disilicate material on its mechanical and optical properties. A lithium disilicate ingot (IPS e.max Press, IvoclarVivadent, Schaan, Liechtenstein) shade (A1) low translucency was first heat-pressed to yield ceramic bars and disks.

This study aimed to develop two new liquids to control these drawbacks. They were prepared from calcium chloride, fumed silica, and hydroxyapatite or calcium phosphate and coded "H" and "P," respectively.

Due to the complex anatomy of root canal spaces, the use of various instrumentation techniques alone is not effective in producing bacteria-free root canal spaces. Irrigation, disinfectants, rinses, and intervisit medications are used in conjunction with the mechanical instrumentation to ensure the success of endodontic treatment.
