AIM The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of dentin on the antimicrobial efficacy of 3% sodium hypochlorite, 2% chlorhexidine, 17% EDTA and 18% etidronic acid against C. albicans. METHODOLOGY Dentin powder was prepared from mandibular first premolar using electrical grinder and sterilized. 3% NaOCl, 2%CHX, 17% EDTA and 18% etidronic acid were tested against C. albicans in the prese...

The objective of this field study was to determine the therapeutic efficacy of mammary irrigation for the treatment of dairy cattle diagnosed with acute coliform mastitis caused by gram-negative bacteria. Additionally, the effects of different mammary irrigation regimen fluids such as ozone water and normal saline were compared. Dairy cattle clinically diagnosed with acute coliform mastitis (n ...

The aim of the study is to evaluate and compare the efficacy of cetrimide on decalcifying capability of different irrigating solutions. Thirty maxillary central incisor teeth have been collected. The specimens were randomly divided into 6 experimental groups (n=10) according to tested irrigating agents. Irrigating agents consisted in different composition of EDTA and citric acid solutions, addi...

We describe the smallest incision cataract removal technique, Microphakonit, in which bimanual phacoemulsification can be performed with a 0.7 mm phaco tip and 0.7 mm irrigating chopper. Cortical removal is done using 22 gauge or 0.7 mm irrigation/aspiration instruments. The technique was used for 25 adult human eyes with grade 2 nuclear sclerosis and 5 adult human eyes with grade 3 nuclear scl...

The choice of an irrigating solution for use in infected root canals requires previous knowledge of the microorganisms responsible for the infectious process as well as the properties of different irrigating solutions. Complex internal anatomy, host defenses and microorganism virulence are important factors in the treatment of teeth with asymptomatic apical periodontitis. Irrigating solutions m...

photosynthesis (1). Total radioactivity fixed per leaf was unchanged by the two-hour treatment with gibberellic acid; typical results are shown in table I. Similar results were also obtained in one experiment with Chlorella pyrenoidosa. Examination of autoradiograms of the chromatograms of extracts from the oats, barley, and peas showed no significant differences in the distribution of C'4 amon...

The objective of the present study was to evaluate and compare the influence of cetrimide on decalcifying capability of different irrigating solutions. Fifteen maxillary central incisor teeth has been collected. The canals were prepared in order to obtain four samples from each root. The specimens were randomly divided into 6 experimental groups (n=10) according to tested irrigating agents. Irr...

Irrigating solutions for intraocular purposes were evaluated for their possible damaging effects on the corneal endothelial cell structure and function. Rabbit corneal endothelium was perfused in vitro with Tis-u-Sol, Travenol Ringer's Solution, or Travenol Sodium Chloride. The irrigating solutions caused an immediate corneal swelling of 67 mum per hour +/- 5 (mean +/- standard error), which wa...

This study describes the treatment of a necrotic immature permanent central incisor with crown fracture. Instead of the conventional root canal treatment, a regenerative approach based on conservative endodontic method for revascularization was provided. The root canal was gently debrided of necrotic tissue by irrigating with sodium hypochlorite and then medicated with tri-antibiotic paste. Aft...
