Currently calcium hydroxide is often used as an intra-canal medication during root canal treatment. It has a pH of approximately 12.5, and it has antimicrobial activity, tissue-dissolving ability, inhibits tooth resorption and induces repair by hard tissue formation. It has been promoted for intra-canal placement for various endodontic conditions, including apexification, apexogenesis, after tr...

AIM To investigate the chemical interaction of calcium hydroxide with the corticosteroid triamcinolone acetonide in Ledermix Paste and in Odontopaste, a new steroid/antibiotic paste. METHODOLOGY Validated methods were developed to analyse the interaction of calcium hydroxide in two forms, Pulpdent Paste and calcium hydroxide powder, with triamcinolone acetonide within Odontopaste and Ledermix...

This study was conducted to observe the response of dog's dental pulp to hydrpxylapatite (Hap) and calcium hydroxide when used as pulp capping materials. After the pulps of 22 teeth were exposed, they were capped with either Hap or calcium hydroxide. Histological analysis was performed 8 weeks after treatment. Results showed that pulp exposure caused irreversible injury of odontoblasts, which w...

In this study, filler and silica fume were substituted by Liquid crystal display glass powder (LCDGP) nanosilica, respectively, to improve the performance of ultra-high- fiber-reinforced concrete. addition, surface steel fiber was modified with ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) solution interfacial friction between Ultra-high-performanceconcrete (UHPC) matrix. Both LCDGP nanosilica reacted...

introduction: one of the major contributing factors, which may cause failure of endodontic treatment, is the presence of residual microorganisms in the root canal system. for years, most dentists have been using calcium hydroxide (ch) as the intracanal medicament between treatment sessions to eliminate remnant microorganisms. reducing the size of ch particles into nanoparticles enhances the pen...

Background and aims. Since intracanal medicaments can affect the cell viability in periapical tissues, the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of calcium hydroxide and propolis on pulp fibroblasts. Materials and methods. Two healthy third molars were used as a source to obtain fibroblasts. The fibroblasts were cultured and subjected to 1 mg/mL of propolis and calcium hydroxide. This ex...

Current research concentrates on the impact properties of a particle reinforced polymer matrix composite material. The composite material consists of unsaturated polyester resin that is reinforced with aluminium hydroxide. Aluminium hydroxide acts as the hard phase and polyester as the binding agent. The aim of the work was to understand how the particle size and the filler material’s mass frac...

INTRODUCTION Microorganisms should be considered to have the major role in starting and perpetuation of pulpo-periapical diseases. Using intracanal medicaments is necessary to gain a bacteria-free environment in the canal system. Calcium hydroxide (abbreviated as Ca(OH)2), which is the most commonly used medicament in endodontic therapy, has been shown to be effective against primary sources of...
