introduction: the aim of this study was to compare the antimicrobial effects of mtad, sodium hypochlorite (naocl) and their combination on endodontic micro-organisms. materials and methods: zone of inhibition (zi) and minimum inhibitory concentration (mic) were the techniques used. in zi technique blood agar plates were inoculated with organisms, paper discs were soaked with irrigants and maxim...

The purpose of the review was to assess the effect of root canal irrigants on dentin bonding. A PubMed-based search was conducted on the articles published from 1980 to 2016. A brief overview and reviewing the effect on dentin bonding of common root canal irrigation solutions such as sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl), chlorhexidine (CHX), ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA), mixture of a tetracycl...

Biofilms and microbial aggregates are the common mechanisms for the survival of bacteria in nature. In other words, the ability to form biofilms has been regarded as a virulence factor. Microbial biofilms play an essential role in several infectious diseases such as pulp and periradicular pathosis. The aim of this article was to review the adaptation mechanisms of biofilms, their roles in pulpa...

Introduction. Endodontically treated teeth are usually weaker due to the loss of tooth structure. As most crown is destroyed, common retention for restoration application a fiber-reinforced composite posts in root canal. In endodontically teeth, there two main problems restorative procedure: reduced resistance remaining structure and choosing necessary adequate restoration. The aim this work wa...

Aim: The purpose of this study was to determine the efficacy several irrigants and an aqueous extract Fructus mume in eradicating three kinds biofilm. Materials Methods: A three-species biofilm E. faecalis, P. gingivalis F. nucleatum were cultivated for one week on Thermanox™ plates. Each specimen immersed 8 minutes various irrigants: solution, buffered citric acid, sodium hypochlorite control ...

The extrusion of intracanal debris as well irrigants is a regular occurrence during root canal therapy; nevertheless, this issue has not been satisfactorily resolved by any instrument or method to date. Even if it's always possible, shaping irrigation should reduce the likelihood apical much possible. This because flare-ups may result from irritation that directed towards periapical tissues. Du...

introduction: effective debridement of the root canal system with chemical irrigants prior to obturation is the key to long-term success of endodontic therapy. the purpose of this study is to compare the antibacterial activity of 2.5% sodium hypochlorite (naocl) and 2% iodine potassium iodide (iki) solutions as intracanal disinfectant in infected root canals during one-visit endodontic treatmen...
