introduction: the purpose of the present study was to evaluate the different concentrations of sodium hypochlorite activated with laser in removing of the smear layer in the apical, middle, and coronal segments of root canal walls by scanning electron microscopy analysis. methods: sixty single-rooted human mandibular teeth were decoronated to a standardized length. the samples were prepared by ...

background and aims. current chemical methods may not efficiently disinfect dental stone casts. the aim of this study was to investigate if microwave irradiation is effective for disinfection of stone casts. materials and methods. in this laboratory study, three groups (n = 162) of prepared spherical stone beads as carriers with a diameter of 10 mm were inoculated by separately soaking in three...

this study investigates the effectiveness of the antinociceptive effects of diclofenac, an nsaid, on the nociceptive behavior of morphine-treated rats on formalin test.rats were treated with morphine-containing drinking water for twenty one days, which induced morphine dependence. the antinociceptive effects of 8, 16, and 32 mg/kg doses of diclofenac were then evaluated and compared with distil...

introduction: the aim of this study was to compare the efficacy of two irrigants on decreasing the pain and swelling at different times after treatment of necrotic pulp. materials and methods: fifty patients with single canal tooth and necrotic pulp were selected and divided into two groups, twenty-five in each. rotary files were used for preparing the canals and 0.2% chlorhexidine gluconate an...

objective(s) arsenic compounds are potent human carcinogen and produce a variety of stress responses in mammalian cells. recently sodium arsenite has been recommended to be used as anti malignancy drug by american food and drug administration (fda). in this study, we aimed to determine the apoptosis inducing effect of sodium arsenite on rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells exposed in vitro. m...

Background: The results of the studies on the effects of sodium on bone metabolism have been inconsistent. There is no definitive answer to the question of whether sodium restriction can be associated with a lower incidence of osteoporosis. What reinforces the necessity of designing this study is the lack of findings with the approach of examining the effects of sodium on bone in our country. ...

combination dosage forms of naproxen sodium and pseudoephedrine hydrochloride are used for symptomatic treatment of cold and sinus disorders. in this study, fourth-order derivative spectrophotometric method was used for simultaneous determination of naproxen sodium and pseudoephedrine hydrochloride. the method was linear over the range of 2-28 μg/ml for pseudoephedrine hydrochloride and 4-200 μ...
