Background: The aim of this study was to assess the discoloration of coronal tooth structure irrigated with different irrigation solutions and filled with calcium silicate-based materials containing bismuth oxide or calciumzirconia complex as radiopacifier.
Materials And Methods: In this study, 72 bovine enamel-dentin blocks were prepared and divided into three groups. The dentinal cavities in each group were irrigated with 5.25% sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl), 2% chlorhexidine (CHX), or normal saline for 30 min. After that, irrigation solutions were removed using a cotton pellet. Each group was then randomly divided into two subgroups according to the cavity-filling materials (ProRoot mineral trioxide aggregate [MTA] and RetroMTA). The color assessments were performed before filling the cavities and 1 month and 6 months after filling the cavities. Data were analyzed with two-way ANOVA. The level of statistical significance was set at < 0.05.
Results: The effect of irrigation solution on the color change of calcium silicate-based materials was not statistically significant at none of the time intervals ( = 0.334 and P= 0.252, respectively, for ProRoot MTA and RetroMTA). ProRoot MTA caused a significantly higher color change compared with RetroMTA exposed to different irrigation solutions at each time interval ( < 0.001). Color change of both materials exposed to each irrigation solution significantly increased over time ( < 0.05).
Conclusion: Under the condition of this study, irrigation of dentin with NaOCl and CHX and then removing the excess solution might be ineffective in increasing the tooth color change potential of either bismuth oxide or zirconium-containing calcium silicate-based materials. Furthermore, calcium silicate-based material, which contained bismuth oxide, caused higher tooth discoloration.

Background: In implant-based breast surgery, microbial contamination of implant surfaces predisposes complications such as overt periprosthetic infection and has been linked to capsular contracture (CC). Anti-microbial practices, including povidone-iodine (PVP-I) breast pocket irrigation, are routinely employed to minimise these risks. No standardised protocol for using this antiseptic exists, particularly concerning the ideal concentration.

Objective: This study aims to quantitatively compare the effects of standard needle irrigation (SNI), passive ultrasonic irrigation (PUI), EDDY, photon-initiated photoacoustic streaming (PIPS), and shock wave-enhanced emission photoacoustic streaming (SWEEPS) on the apical extrusion of irrigation solutions in teeth with severe canal curvature.
Materials And Methods: Seventy-five teeth with a single root and canal, and curvature angles ranging from 20° to 40°, were selected for this study. Root canal curvatures were measured from buccolingual and mesiodistal radiographs using ImageJ software (version 1.

Background: Native and periprosthetic joint infections are devastating conditions fraught with patient morbidity and mortality. Aseptic and septic joints are often debrided and irrigated to decrease bacterial loads when preventing or treating infection. However, the effect of clinically used irrigation solutions on the native cellular components of the synovial joint is unknown.

The reuse of stormwater represents a potential option for meeting water demands in water stressed regions as well as preventing and mitigating diffuse pollution of receiving water bodies. Particularly, the elaboration of a risk management plan for stormwater reuse may help to understand associated environmental and public health risks and design fit-for-purpose water treatment processes. In this work, it is presented an innovative methodology to perform quantitative microbial risk assessment (QMRA) for stormwater reuse by using data simulated by SWMM software.
