Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate and compare the effects of formocresol (FC), ferric sulfate (FS), white mineral trioxide aggregate (WMTA), white Portland cement (WPC), and beta-tricalcium phosphate (beta-TCP) on pulpotomized primary teeth of pigs.

Study Design: Fifty teeth of three 3-month old pigs were pulpotomized with these materials. Three weeks later, the animals were euthanized and the specimens were prepared for histological examination.

Results: There was no significant difference between beta-TCP, WMTA, and WPC in terms of primary pulp response, hard tissue formation, and normal pulp tissue preservation. But, both FS and FC irritated the pulp tissue, provoking a more inflammatory pulp response than beta-TCP, WMTA, and WPC.

Conclusion: Beta-TCP, WMTA, and WPC are histologically more effective pulpotomy agents than formocresol and ferric sulfate in primary pig teeth.

To assess the effectiveness of Biodentine (BD), mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) and ferric sulfate (FS) as pulpotomy agents in primary molars and evaluate the impact of behavior guidance strategies on pulpotomy success. In this retrospective cross-sectional study, data from 374 cases (50.5 percent male, aged two to 10 years) undergoing 469 pulpotomies at a university pediatric clinic between April 1, 2016 and January 1, 2020 were analyzed.

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.

Cytotoxic Effects of Pulp Capping Agents on Mesenchymal Stem Cells Isolated from Human Exfoliated Deciduous Teeth.

J Dent (Shiraz)

December 2024

ENT and Head and Neck Research Center and Department, The five senses Health Institute, Firoozgar Hospital, School of Medicine, Iran University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran.

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).

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

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.
