Chlorhexidine is a broad spectrum antimicrobial agent, which has been into used in the dental practice as major anti plaque agent. not only shows property of substantivity, but due to its property, it various oral diseases. Different uses chlorhexidine are, prime most antiplaque can be root canal irrigant during process treatment, prevention caries results suppression streptococcus mutans cavit...

Our primary objective was to measure root canal penetrations of aqueous antibacterial nano-chitosan (Nano-CS), for the first time. The second objective was to compare and contrast such penetrations to those of chitosan (CS) itself, as well as sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl), chlorhexidine (CHX) and ethylenediamintetraacetic acid (EDTA), at the routinely used concentrations. Molar roots were split l...

BACKGROUND Successful obturation in the primary teeth demands complete dryness of the root canal system. AIM The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of 95% ethanol as the final irrigant before root canal obturation in primary teeth. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 20 extracted primary mandibular canines were biomechanically prepared and pre-obturated volume of each tooth was ...

INTRODUCTION Endotoxins are one of the etiologic agents involved in the pathogenesis of apical periodontitis. The objectives of this clinical study were to investigate the effects of endodontic treatment by using different irrigants on endotoxins in root canals with pulp necrosis and apical periodontitis and to evaluate the cytotoxic effects. METHODS Thirty-six root canals were selected. Samp...

PURPOSE To identify how different treatments of the root dentin surface affect the microscopic appearance of the resin composite/glass-ionomer cement-to-dentin interface. METHODS The root canals of 70 extracted human single-rooted teeth were enlarged to reduce dentin wall thicknesses to 0.5 mm. The roots were randomly divided into seven test groups (n=10) according to the canal irrigant used:...
