introduction: the aim of this randomized controlled trial was to compare the radiographic and clinical success rates of direct pulp capping (dpc) using proroot mineral trioxide aggregate (mta) or calcium enriched mixture (cem). methods and materials: a total of 42 symptom-free carious vital primary molars (21 pairs) were selected in this split mouth trial and randomly pulpotomized in two experi...

background and aims. mineral trioxide aggregate and calcium hydroxide are considered the gold standard pulp-capping materials. recently, portland cement has been introduced with properties similar to those of mineral trioxide aggregate. histopathological effects of direct pulp capping using mineral trioxide aggregate and portland cements on dog dental pulp tissue were evaluated in the present s...

a simple method has been employed to synthesize copper and copper oxide nanoparticles from copper (ii) succinate precursor by thermal decomposition method using oleylamine as a capping agent. the particles synthesized with oleylamine and triphenylphosphine were well dispersed nanoparticles obtained from x-ray diffraction (xrd). the synthesized copper nanoparticles were characterized by uv-visib...

conclusions the clinical success rates of endodontically treated premolars restored with fiber posts and direct composite restorations, direct composite restorations with cusp capping and simple direct composite restoration were perfect after one year of follow-up evaluation. background endodontically treated teeth need to be restored in a manner to provide protection for the remaining tooth st...

in modern endodontics, vital pulp therapy (vpt) has been considered an ultra-conservative treatment modality. based on the level of pulp preservation, vpt includes stepwise excavation, indirect pulp capping (idpc), direct pulp capping (dpc), miniature pulpotomy (mp), partial/cvek pulpotomy and coronal/complete pulpotomy (cp). the present article reviews the treatment outcomes of 94 permanent te...

statement of problem: mineral trioxid aggregate (mta) cement is widely used for root-end filling, pulp capping, perforation repair and other treatments in endodontics. investigations have shown similar physical and chemical properties for portland cement (type i), root mta and proroot mta. purpose: the aim of this in vivo study was to evaluate the reaction of dog canine pulp after pulp capping ...

In this work firstly CoFe2O4 nanoparticles were synthesized via a hydrothermal method. The temperature, surfactant and capping agent effects on the size of CoFe2O4 nanoparticles were investigated. 2-hydroxyacetophenone used as a good capping agent to produce cubic-like nanostructure. When SDBS used as surfactant, particles had spherical morphology. Nanoparticle was studied by scanning electron ...

In this research cobalt ferrite (CoFe2O4) nano-crystalline powders were prepared by simple chemical precipitation method using cobalt sulfate. The CoFe2O4 nanoparticles were characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy  and Fourier transform infra-red spectroscopy. The crystallite size of CoFe2O4 nanoparticles was calculated by Debye–Scherrer formula. The effect of precursor...

We used cholera toxin, which binds exclusively and with a high affinity to the ganglioside GM1, as a probe to investigate the distribution of this glycolipid on the surface of mouse lymphocytes. When lymphocytes are incubated with cholera toxin (or its B subunit) and then sequentially with horse anti-toxin and FITC-swine anti-horse Ig at 37°C, the cholera toxin-ganglioside GM1 complex is redist...
