Which is Responsible for Pain Relieve in Alveolar Osteitis Patients: Saline or Zinc Oxide Eugenol?

Residual Eugenol From Zinc Oxide - Eugenol Compounds EUGENE

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.

Analysis and molecular-weight dettrml.nat lons show t hat th,s compound corresponds t o the empirical formula (OIOH l.' O2) 2 Zn, ztnC eugenolate. Infr...

[Assessment of the effectiveness of low level laser in the treatment of alveolar osteitis].

BACKGROUND/AIM Alveolar osteitis (AO) is the extraction wound healing disorder with a presence of severe pain. Low level laser therapy stimulates cell metabolism and microcirculation, have has pronounced analgesic, antiedematous and anti-inflammatory effect and speeds up wound healing process. The aim of this study was to present results of clinical research that examined the effectiveness of l...

Thermal analysis of zinc oxide-eugenol cements during setting.

It has been accepted traditionally that the setting of zinc oxide-eugenol (ZOE) cements is the result of the formation of zinc eugenolate crystals.1 A recent study pointed out that at least seven hours elapsed before zinc eugenolate crystals precipitated from a clear solution of zinc acetate in eugenol.2 Accelerated ZOE, however, set in as short a time as three minutes.3 Electron microscopy, el...

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...
