BACKGROUND The present study is designed to evaluate the clinical effects of pulsated subgingival irrigation with tetracycline and spiramycin. MATERIALS AND METHODS Ten patient diagnosed chronic periodontitis were included in the present study. Each patient is assigned to be irrigated with saline (placebo) (Group A), tetracycline HCl at 0.5% concentration (Group B), and 0.5% spiramycin (Group...

BACKGROUND Chronic subdural hematoma (cSDH) is one of the most common conditions encountered in neurosurgical practice. Recurrence, observed in 5-30% of patients, is a major clinical problem. The temperature of the irrigation fluid used during evacuation of the hematoma might theoretically influence recurrence rates since irrigation fluid at body temperature (37 oC) may beneficially influence c...

An irrigation scheduling model (ISM) consisting of a database management system (DBMS), model base and graphical user interface (GUI) was developed for performing irrigation scheduling under various management options for both single and multiple ®elds. The ISM is based on a daily water balance approach and uses climatological, crop and soil data as input. Depending on the availability of clima...

BACKGROUND The review aimed to compare the effectiveness, safety and acceptability of vasectomy techniques for male sterilization. METHODS We searched five computerized databases and reference lists of relevant articles and book chapters for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and controlled clinical trials (CCTs) comparing vasectomy techniques. Two reviewers independently extracted data from...

INTRODUCTION Periodontitis is inflammation of supporting tooth structure. Most individuals get affected by this disease if oral hygiene is not maintained. There are various mechanical and chemical methods for oral hygiene maintenance. In recent past, interest has been diverted toward the herbal/traditional product in oral hygiene maintenance as they are free from untoward effect. AIM To asses...

INTRODUCTION Root canal irrigation carries a risk of extrusion of irrigant into the periapical tissues. The objective of this study was to compare different irrigation systems in matched pairs of teeth prepared to an apical size of 35.06 and 50.06 by measuring the frequency and extent of apical extrusion of sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) into a simulated periapical environment. The null hypothesis...

Current study was carried out with aim to evaluate the effect of pressurized irrigation methods and furrow irrigation method with municipal effluent on distribution of salinity and moisture in the soil profile. The experimental study was designed by split plot layout with three irrigation methods including furrow, surface drip (SD) irrigation and subsurface drip irrigation (SSD) and two water q...

PURPOSE To determine whether daily irrigation with sterile saline solution during silicone hydrogel (SiH) contact lens continuous wear (CW) can mitigate increases in corneal epithelial permeability (Pdc) and reduce the risk of adverse events. METHODS In this study, 161 non-contact lens wearers were fit with SiH contact lenses and randomized to either a treatment (n = 81) or control (n = 80) g...

A new device for irrigation, which presents hydrodynamic activation based on the pressure-suction technology, has recently been introduced to the market: the RinsEndo system. This study compared the efficacy of the RinsEndo system and conventional (manual-dynamic) irrigation in the removal of debris from the root canal walls, using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Twenty mandibular premolars...
