objective: antibacterial properties of silver nanoparticles have recently come into the spotlight in endodontic therapy. this study was conducted aiming at comparing the antimicrobial activity of a new irrigation solution containing nanosilver particles with that of sodium hypochlorite and chlorhexidine against escherichia coli, enterococcus faecalis, pseudomonas aeruginosa and candida albicans...

The case reports describes non surgical healing in periradicular lesions.A conservative approach with 5.25% sodium hypochlorite was used for irrigation, and calcium hydroxide was used for the intra-canal dressing and 2% chlorohexidine as a final irrigant. Periapical healing was observed 1 month after obturation and continued in the 12-month recall. This report confirms that the large size of a ...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to evaluate the tissue dissolution efficacy of four root canal irrigation solutions (sodium hypochlorite [NaOCl], chlorhexidine gluconate [CHX], Octenidine [OCT], and QMix 2in1) on bovine pulp tissue. MATERIALS AND METHODS Fifty bovine pulp tissue samples, each weighing 6.55 mg, were prepared and randomly divided into four experimental groups and one contro...

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM It is necessary to use irrigation solutions during cleaning and shaping of root canals to efficiently reduce the number of micro organisms. Sodium hypochlorite is used as an effective antibacterial endodontic irrigants. However, the extract of pennyroyal plant has also shown anti-bacterial characteristics comparable with antibacterial drugs. OBJECTIVES To compare the anti...

In this article, the HMP-3 wastewater treatment process with natural minerals (vermiculite, zeolite, dolomite, saponite, shungite, bentonite, basalt minerals), rice husk, 1% NaClO (sodium hypochlorite) and 3% H 2 O (hydrogen peroxide) solutions will be discussed. According to research results, activation of samples used for in form sodium hypochlorite solution hydrogen peroxide shows high effic...

INTRODUCTION Formocresol is widely used in primary teeth pulpotomies; however it is known to have several side effects. The purpose of this study was to assess pulpal changes of primary teeth pulps after pulpotomy with sodium hypochlorite and formocresol. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this randomized clinical trial, 22 teeth were selected. These teeth were randomly divided into 2 groups (formocres...

Household point-of-use (POU) water treatment technologies targeted at vulnerable populations are microbiologically effective and, in small trials, improve health. We do not understand the factors that influence preference for and adoption of these technologies by target end-users. We cycled 400 rural subsistence farm households in western Kenya through three randomly ordered two-month trials of...

This study investigated the effects of disinfection of agar-alginate combined impressions on the surface properties of the resulting stone casts. Two brands of cartridge-form agar impression material and one alginate impression material were used. Agar-alginate combined impressions of smooth glass plates were prepared. The impressions were immersed in 0.55% ortho-phthalaldehyde solution or 0.5%...
