review of root-end filling materials
background and aim: the main goal of endodontic treatments is eliminating the etiologic factors of pulpal and periapical diseases as well as maintaining this condition via providing a hermetic seal between periodontium and root canal system. if these were not possible through orthograde approach, periradicular surgery and root-end filling are indicated. review of literature: different materials...
متن کاملA Comparative Investigation of Marginal Adaptation and Surface Defects of MTA and Root MTA as Two Root End Filling Materials
Introduction: This study was carried out to compare two retrograde filling materials entitled mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) and Root MTA (RMTA) in regard to their marginal adaptation and surface defects. Method: In this study twenty extracted human teeth were used. In all teeth after cleaning and shaping, the root canals were obturated by gutta-percha and root canal sealer. After that in eac...
متن کاملComparison of Microscopy and Alamar Blue Reduction in a Larval Based Assay for Schistosome Drug Screening
BACKGROUND In view of the current widespread use of and reliance on a single schistosomicide, praziquantel, there is a pressing need to discover and develop alternative drugs for schistosomiasis. One approach to this is to develop High Throughput in vitro whole organism screens (HTS) to identify hits amongst large compound libraries. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS We have been carrying out lo...
متن کاملMicroplate Alamar blue assay for Staphylococcus epidermidis biofilm susceptibility testing.
Biofilms are at the root of many infections largely because they are much more antibiotic resistant than their planktonic counterparts. Antibiotics that target the biofilm phenotype are desperately needed, but there is still no standard method to assess biofilm drug susceptibility. Staphylococcus epidermidis ATCC 35984 biofilms treated with eight different approved antibiotics and five differen...
متن کاملMicroplate nitrate reductase assay versus Alamar Blue assay for MIC determination of Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
A rapid colorimetric, microplate based nitrate reductase assay (NRA) method for minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) determination of clinical isolates of Mycobacterium tuberculosis was compared with the microplate Alamar Blue assay (MABA), presently in vogue. Reproducible results were obtained in 7 days by NRA. The NRA method was found to be inexpensive, suitable for MIC determination agains...
