Zinc Oxide Eugenol as an Obturation Material in Primary Dentition

Success Rate of Zinc Oxide Eugenol in Pulpectomy of Necrotic Primary Molars: A Retrospective Study

Introduction: Pulpectomy is a conservative treatment plan for primary necrotic teeth and Zinc Oxide Eugenol is still a good choice as root canal filling material but long term studies on poor prognosis molars are limited and almost contradictory. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the clinical and radiographical success rate of pulpectomy of necrotic primary molars using ZOE as the root c...

An In vitro Evaluation of Antimicrobial Efficacy of new Nano-zinc Oxide Eugenol (NZOE)

Introduction: This interventional in-vitro study aimed to evaluate the antimicrobial activity of a new Nano Zinc OxideEugenol (NZOE) sealer in comparison with AH26 and Pulpdent common root canal sealers against endodontic pathogens. Methods: The antimicrobial efficacy of three sealers(NZOE, AH26 and Pulpdent)  against Enterococcus faecalis (ATCC 29212), Escherichia coli (ATCC 25922), Streptococ...

Retreatment efficacy 3 months after obturation using glass ionomer cement, zinc oxide-eugenol, and epoxy resin sealers.

The efficacy of ultrasonic retreatment, 3 months after obturation, in conjunction with Ketac-Endo, Roth's 801, and AH26 sealers was evaluated. Seventy-two root canals were prepared and obturated with gutta-percha and one of the sealers mentioned above. After 90 days, the canals were retreated by an ultrasonic technique and the retreatment time was recorded. The roots were split and the amount o...
