AI Article Synopsis
- A reported case involved a patient who intentionally ingested iodine tincture, leading to severe hemolysis (destruction of red blood cells) and acute renal failure.
- The patient recovered fully after 8 weeks with supportive care, plasma exchange, and temporary hemodialysis.
Article Abstract
Iodine tincture poisoning is uncommon regardless of its widespread use as an antiseptic in daily practice. Previously reported effects of iodine-containing antiseptic poisoning included topical irritation, corrosive effects, allergic response, and hepatic or renal injury, which mainly resulted from complications of topical use during surgical procedures. We herein reported an unusual case of severe hemolysis and acute renal failure following intentional ingestion of iodine tincture containing 60 mg/ml iodine and 40 mg/ml potassium iodide in 70% v/v ethanol. The patient completely recovered 8 weeks later after receiving supportive treatment, plasma exchange, and temporary hemodialysis.

Regenerative potential of mesoporous silica nanoparticles scaffold on dental pulp and root maturation in immature dog's teeth: a histologic and radiographic study.
BMC Oral Health
July 2024
Department of Endodontic, Faculty of Dentistry, Ain Shams University, Cairo, Egypt.
Objective: To evaluate histologically and radiographically the potential of dog's immature roots with apical periodontitis to regenerate after regenerative endodontic treatment using mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) with/without bone morphogenic protein (BMP-2) as scaffolds.
Methods: In 4 mongrel dogs, 56 immature teeth with 96 roots were infected, resulting in necrotic pulps and periapical pathosis. According to the evaluation time (Group I = 30 days and Group II = 90 days), 90 roots were divided into two equal groups (45 roots each) and 6 roots used to replace any lost root during the procedure.

The routine use of iodine tincture in medicine represents a turning point in the history of surgical procedures. It was the Istrian doctor Antonio Grossich (1849-1926) who first defined and applied the best formula and demonstrated to the world its superiority over other antiseptics. Although his was a life guided by medicine and the steadfast translation of his political ideals into practice, Grossich's achievements were somewhat obscured by his active involvement in the Istrian irredentism of the first decades of the wentieth century.

Endodontic operative field asepsis: a comparison between general dentists and specialists.
Acta Odontol Scand

Department of Endodontics, Faculty of Odontology, Malmö University, Malmö, Sweden.
Objective: The aim was to evaluate the establishment of an aseptic endodontic operative field in general dentistry by assessing general dentists' ability to reduce the amount of contamination to a non-cultivable level, and to compare the operative field asepsis at a general dentistry clinic with that at an endodontic specialist clinic.
Materials And Methods: A total of 353 teeth were included in the study (153 in general dentistry, 200 at the specialist clinic). After isolation, control samples were taken, the operative fields disinfected with 30% hydrogen peroxide (1 min) followed by 5% iodine tincture or .
