Studies have suggested that formocresol has toxic and carcinogenic potential. A search for an alternative medicament for primary tooth pulpotomies has led to ferric sulfate as a possible alternative. A retrospective study was done in a multipractitioner IHS (Indian Health Service) clinic. Radiographic success or failure was determined for 202 primary tooth pulpotomies performed with either formocresol, ferric sulfate, or a combination procedure of formocresol and ferric sulfate. The post-operative period for the pulpotomies ranged from one month to thirty-six plus months. There was no statistical difference in radiographic failure rates between formocresol, ferric sulfate, or the combination procedure when results were analyzed regardless of post-op period. However, when post-op periods were considered, formocresol performed better at > 36 months and the combination procedure showed significantly more failures at > 36 months.

[Comprehensive Analysis and Emission Reduction Pathway of GHG Emissions at a Wastewater Treatment Plant in Suzhou].

Taking a sewage treatment plant in Suzhou City, Jiangsu Province, as an example, the greenhouse gas （GHG） emissions generated in the sewage treatment system were calculated using the carbon balance method and the emission factor method. The environmental impacts and economic aspects of different treatment units in wastewater treatment plants were analyzed using life cycle assessment, cost-benefit analysis, and data envelopment analysis models, and emission reduction pathways were proposed. The results indicated that the total GHG emissions （in terms of CO） from a certain municipal wastewater treatment plant in Suzhou were 6 653.

Statement Of The Problem: Success of pulpotomy of primary teeth depends on biological and cytotoxic effects of pulp capping agents. Mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA), Biodentine, calcium enriched mixture (CEM) cement, and ferric sulfate (FS) are among the commonly used pulp capping agents (PCAs) for pulpotomy, and their successful application has been previously evaluated.
Purpose: This study aimed to compare the cytotoxicity of PCAs against mesenchymal stem cells isolated from human exfoliated deciduous teeth (SHEDs).
Phase conversion characteristics of lead sulfate in ferric sulfate medium.

Article Synopsis
- - The study focused on how various factors like temperature, sulfuric acid concentration, and different sulfate concentrations affect the transformation of lead sulfate (PbSO) into lead jarosite (Pb-J) in a sulfuric acid system.
- - Results showed that the temperature threshold for converting PbSO to Pb-J decreased from 150 to 90 °C as sulfuric acid concentration dropped from 20 to 5 g/L, while high sulfuric acid concentration (over 40 g/L) kept PbSO stable without significant conversion.
- - Additionally, higher concentrations of ferric iron promoted Pb-J formation, while sodium and potassium sulfates inhibited it, leading to the formation of specific jarosites (K-J and Na-J) instead
The effect of hemostatic agents and dentin cleansing protocols on shear bond strength of resin composite using universal adhesive: an in vitro study.

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 Gypsum Influence on the Formation of Secondary Phases During Autoclave Leaching of Gold-Bearing Concentrates and the Silver Recovery Using Cyanidation.

Autoclave leaching of sulfide concentrates may produce various ferric secondary phases, depending on the arsenic content and temperature. Silver is converted to argentojarosite, from which it is not recoverable by standard cyanidation methods. To increase silver recovery, it is necessary to reduce the argentojarosite formation during autoclave leaching.
