INTRODUCTION Root canal irrigants play a significant role in the elimination of microorganisms, tissue dissolution, and the removal of debris and smear layer. No single solution is able to fulfill these actions completely; therefore, their association is required. The aim of this investigation was to review the antagonistic interactions occurring when sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl), chlorhexidine ...

AIM To evaluate the effect of successive cycles of disinfection in different denture cleansers on the surface roughness and the Vickers hardness of two layers of acrylic resin (base-BL and enamel-EL) of two commercial cross-linked artificial teeth. MATERIALS AND METHODS The occlusal surfaces of 60 acrylic resin denture posterior teeth (Trilux-TLX and SR Orthosit PE-SRO) embedded in autopolyme...

Introduction: “RC-Prep”, a chemo-mechanical preparation for root canals, includes EDTA and urea peroxide as ingredients. For lubrication and its chelating effect, RC-Prep is useful as an adjunct in root canal enlargement. Furthermore, its cleaning action, due to its foaming properties in combination with sodium hypochlorite, can be useful in root canal treatment in many situations. Methods: In ...

background: the aim of this study was to compare the antibacterial efficacy of endemic satureja khuzistanica jamzad (skj) essential oil as root canal irrigation versus 2.5% sodium hypochlorite and 2% chlorhexidine gluconate.     methods: in current in vitro experimental study, fifty four single-rooted teeth were randomly divided into 6 groups of 9 samples: 2.5% sodium hypochlorite (naocl), 2% c...

Hot-water dips with and without the additives abamectin and sodium hypochlorite were evaluated for control of Ditylenchus dipsaci infection of garlic seed cloves. All treatments were compared to hot water-formalin clove dip disinfection and to nontreated infected controls for garlic emergence, midseason infection, bulb damage, and yield at harvest in field plots in 12 experiments. Hot-water tre...

New biodegradable surface active agents were prepared by glycosidation of prehydrolysis lignin with the D-glucose using anhydrous ferric chloride as the catalyst which afforded polymeric alkyl, benzyl and aryl glucofuranoside derivatives of lignin. Moreover, a series of novel lignin-based surface active agents was obtained by subsequent Oxidation of the primary alcohol groups of u-glucose into ...

A rapid, simple, highly accurate procedure for the determination of hemoglobin iron is described. The use of a sodium hypochlorite solution achieves a smoother, faster, cleaner digestion of hemoglobin and release of the iron than the use of concentrated sulfuric acid and persulfate. The accuracy of the method is established by recovery experiments showing that a linear relation exists between t...

In this paper, gold leaching of a refractory sulfide concentrate by chloride–hypochlorite solution was investigated and effects of stirring speed, temperature and particle size on the leaching rate were reported. Experimental data for leaching rate of gold were analyzed with the shrinking–core model. Results were consistent with chemical reaction control mechanism in the first 1 h of leachin...

1. Dakin's hypochlorite and chloramine-T solutions will protect pigeons against multiple fatal doses of the toxin of Bacillus welch when the antiseptic and the toxin are mixed in vitro and allowed to stand in contact for 5 minutes before injection. 2. The detoxicating action of the solutions is demonstrable also in the presence of serum. 3. Phenol solution, 0.25 per cent, has no such action.

removal of smear layer and disinfection of canals are important objectives of teeth root canal cleaning. in order to achieve this purpose, rinsing substances, intra canal drugs as well as ultrasound are used. today, use of laser to remove smear layer and to disinfect root canals has increasingly attracted the attentions. till now different lasers such as co2, nd:yag, er:yag, er,cr:ysgg have bee...
