The diffusion of glutaraldehyde from zinc oxide-eugenol cement.

The diffusion of glutaraldehyde from zinc oxide and eugenol cement (ZOE) into water was measured. The egress was found to be substantial and correlated to the amount of glutaraldehyde which was incorporated initially. The percentages of the fixative which diffused from the ZOE preparations containing 2,5, or 10% glutaraldehyde were virtually identical, demonstrating that there is no restriction...

Setting Reaction of Zinc Oxide and Eugenol !

Zinc oxide-eugenol mixtures have been used in dentistry for a number of years. The setting mechanism of these mixtures was investigated.

Microbial leakage of MTA, Portland cement, Sealapex and zinc oxide-eugenol as root-end filling materials.

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to compare the microbial leakage of mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA), Portland cement (PC), Sealapex and zinc oxide-eugenol (ZOE) as root-end filling materials. STUDY DESIGN An in vitro microbial leakage test (MLT) with a split chamber was used in this study. A mixture of facultative bacteria and one yeast (S. aureus+E. faecalis+P. aeruginosa+B. subtilis+C....

Antiproliferative effect of mineral trioxide aggregate, zinc oxide-eugenol cement, and glass-ionomer cement against three fibroblastic cell lines.

An important requirement for dental materials placed in direct contact with living tissues is biocompatibility. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the antiproliferative activity of three dental materials (mineral trioxide aggregate, zinc oxide-eugenol cement, and glass-ionomer cement) against a panel of established fibroblastic cell lines (L929, BHK21/C13, and RPC-C2A). The materials wer...
