Calcium hydroxide is used in diverse applications including heritage conservation where supplying it in the form of nanoparticles allows easy carbonation with atmospheric air contacts. The effects of cellulose nanofibers on the precipitation of calcium hydroxide nanoparticles were investigated by varying the reaction time, concentration, and carboxylation content of cellulose nanofibers. Cellulose nanofibers were very effective in producing calcium hydroxide nanoparticles with less than 50 nm sizes out of calcium nitrate-sodium hydroxide precipitation reactions. The formation of smaller-size calcium hydroxide nanoparticles is believed to be the result of heterogeneous nucleation and growth of calcium hydroxide particles on cellulose nanofibers. The liquid-phase nucleated and grown calcium hydroxide nanoparticles were also deposited onto cellulose nanofibers. The resulting calcium hydroxide nanoparticles were carbonized and generated calcite under atmospheric carbon dioxide in an efficient way.

Sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl), ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA), and calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)) are used in root canal treatment. However, further research is needed to assess their effectiveness at time points not considered in previous guidelines. This review complements the systematic review by Rossi-Fedele and Rödig (2023) by considering time points excluded by the latter.

Background: () is one of the microorganisms responsible for the pathology of root canals. We aimed in this study to determine the efficacy of two different pastes (calcium hydroxide combined with saline and calcium hydroxide combined with propolis) as a dressing material in eradicating from infected root canals.
Methods: Twenty extracted single-rooted and single-canalled first premolars randomly distributed into two equal groups of 10 teeth each.

Calcium hydroxide nanoparticles (Ca(OH)NPs) possess potent antimicrobial activities and unique physical and chemical properties, making them valuable across various fields. However, limited information exists regarding their effects on genomic DNA integrity and their potential to induce apoptosis in normal and cancerous human cell lines. This study thus aimed to evaluate the impact of Ca(OH)NPs on cell viability, genomic DNA integrity, and oxidative stress induction in human normal skin fibroblasts (HSF) and cancerous hepatic (HepG2) cells.

Introduction: This in vitro study assessed how shade changes induced by endodontic medicaments affect the transmission of single and multiples wavelengths of infrared light through enamel and dentin.
Methods: Eighteen extracted single-rooted permanent teeth were prepared, removing all extrinsic staining, and cementum. Tooth slices were treated for 4 weeks with UltraCal™ XS, Ledermix™, or were untreated controls.
