Objectives: To evaluate the influence of dentine on the pH of different medications in standardized simulated canals.
Materials And Methods: Forty resin blocks were divided into groups with and without dentine powder, as follows: 2% chlorhexidine gel; 2% chlorhexidine gel associated with calcium hydroxide PA; calcium hydroxide PA delivered in propylene glycol 600; and NPG delivered in distilled water. The dentine powder was obtained from the root dentine of bovine teeth and added to the medications. The simulated canals were placed in containers with 1.5 mL of deionized water and pH was monitored in multiple intervals, up to 30 days. The mean pH values were calculated and submitted to statistical analysis using paired Student's t-test and ANOVA complemented by the Tukey test (p < 0.05).
Results: There was no statistical difference between the groups with and without dentine powder (p > 0.05). The pH values of calcium hydroxide were significantly higher than those of NPG in the first 24 hours (p < 0.05). After 7 days, both behaved in a similar manner.
Conclusion: The addition of dentine powder to the medications evaluated did not alter the pH of the external solution in any of the time points tested.

Effectiveness of phosphate binders on mortality and cardiovascular disease in end-stage renal disease patients with hyperphosphatemia: a multicenter real-world cohort study.

Department of Clinical Epidemiology and Biostatistics, Faculty of Medicine, Ramathibodi Hospital, Mahidol University, 3rd Floor, Research Center Building, 270 RAMA VI Road. Ratchathewi, Bangkok, 10400, Thailand.
Background: Uncontrolled hyperphosphatemia in end stage renal disease (ESRD) increases the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD), bone disorders, and premature mortality. Randomized controlled trials show reduced CVD risk of non-calcium-based phosphate-binders (NCBPBs) compared to CBPBs although evidence from real world data is less consistent. This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of NCBPBs, CBPBs, to no phosphate-binder (PB) on mortality and cardiovascular disease in Thai hyperphosphatemic ESRDs.

This report highlights a rare occurrence of inferior alveolar nerve (IAN) injury resulting from calcium hydroxide extrusion during endodontic treatment. The patient experienced severe pain and paresthesia in the lower right lip following root canal treatment due to the inadvertent overflow of calcium hydroxide into the IAN canal. No surgical intervention was performed, and the patient received non-steroidal anti-inflammatory analgesics and vitamin B complex injections to manage the symptoms.

Objective: To compare the efficiency of four methods for removing calcium hydroxide in root canals.
Methods: 80 mandibular single-tube permanent premolars were instrumented to ProTaper Universal F4. The teeth were split in two lengthwise, standardized grooves, and depressions were prepared on the wall of the root canal and filled with calcium hydroxide.
