Background: The main factor causing failure of root canal treatment is re-infection the bacterium Enterococcus faecalis, so it necessary to give right intracanal medicament. Calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)2) an medicament often used in endodontic treatment. To increase effectiveness calcium hydroxide, a mixing agent needed. Mixing agents such as Chlorhexidine digluconate (CHX) 2% (aqueous) and Clinda...

Occupational contact dermatitis is associated with significant morbidity, and can have a major impact on a patient’s quality of life and important consequences for the patient’s employment. Omeprazole is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) used in the treatment of gastrooesophageal reflux disease, and has been associated with occupational contact dermatitis in pharmaceutical workers (1–3). We report ...

The purpose of this study is to evaluate calcium hydroxide as a root canal dressing in presence apical lesion due pulpal necrosis, after chemomechanical preparation. Culture test were done 19 patients wich 80% all teeth treated with remained negative and 100% PMCC. Under the present experimental conditions, PMCC well mantained desinfection status pursued during preparation therefore indicated a...

calcium hydroxide is the most widely used intracanal medicament in endodontics, which should be removed prior to permanent root canal filling to minimize its intervention with the bonding of endodontic sealers. this ex-vivo study aimed to evaluate the effect of pretreatment with calcium hydroxide on the bond strength of resilon/epiphany self etch (se) to the radicular dentin after removing the ...

introduction: leakage of the root canal system is an importent consideration when placing an intracanal medicament. the aim of this in vitro study was to compare the effect of calcium hydroxide and 1% chlorhexidine gel as intracanal medicaments on tooth apical seal. materials and methods: seventy extracted, single-rooted maxillary anterior teeth were divided into the three experimental groups (...
