external inflammatory root resorption (eir) represents a challenge in endodontic practice. eir commonly occurs after dental trauma that results in periodontal ligament injury, pulp necrosis and subsequent infection.  treatment of eir is based on disinfecting the root canal system through chemomechanical procedures and then filling it with calcium hydroxide or triple antibiotic paste. dental tra...

introduction: the ultimate goal of endodontic treatment is to eliminate the bacterial infection in the root canal system. while mechanical debridement combined with chemical irrigation removes the bulk of microorganisms, residual bacteria are readily detectable in approximately one-half of teeth just prior to obturation. laser light can be used to destroy bacteria. this in vitro study was perfo...

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the antimicrobial activity of two experimental pastes containing propolis extract associated with calcium hydroxide against polymicrobial cultures collected from 16 necrotic and fistulae root canals in primary molars of 4-8-year-old children of both sexes. The agar-well diffusion technique was used to determine the antimicrobial activity of the followin...

Objectives: The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of calcium hydroxide on the adhesion of a resin system to dentin by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Methods: Cavities were prepared on the mesial and distal sides of 10 extracted lower human molars. The mesial cavities were coated with Prime & Bond 2.1 (Caulk, Dentsply) after total etching, and were restored with TPH composite resi...

Objective. The aim of this study was to evaluate the rat subcutaneous tissue reaction to calcium hydroxide-based intracanal medicaments, UltraCal XS (calcium hydroxide, barium sulphate, aqueous matrix), Hydropast (calcium hydroxide, barium sulphate, and propyleneglycol), and Calen (Calcium hydroxide, zinc oxide, colophony, and polyethyleneglycol), used as a control. Methods. Forty-eight rats (R...

Calcium hydroxide had been used as the intracanal dressing in endodontic treatment due to its high alkaline and high antimicrobial capacity. It also be able to dissolve the necrotic tissue, prevent the root resorbtion and regenerate a new hard tissue. The aim of this study is to identify the concentration of calcium hydroxide that has the lowest citotoxicity. There are 5 groups, each group had ...

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects potassium extraction on pozzolanicity sugar cane bagasse ash (SCBA), with aim producing reactive for use in cementitious composites. ashes were produced at 600 °C 60 min, a heating rate 4 °C/min. then ground and washed extraction. In order assess behaviour before after extraction, following procedures performed: energy-dispersive spectrosc...
