introduction: the provision of an effective apical seal is an essential factor when choosing an appropriate material for success of root-end surgeries. root-end resection, preparation and obturation should provide an adequate apical seal. the aim of this in vitro study was to investigate bacterial and dye microleakage of four different root-end filling materials and compare the efficacy of thes...

introduction: there are several methods for evaluating microleakage in dentistry, for example dye or bacterial leakage, electro-chemical methods, radioisotope labeling and fluid filtration. the purpose of this study was to assemble the fluid filtration system for quantitative evaluation of microleakage in dental materials. materials and methods: the roots were connected to a tube filled with an...

background: one ideal property of a root-end fi lling material is its apical sealing ability. the aim of this in vitro study was to assess bacterial and dye microleakage of white and gray mineral trioxide aggregate (wmta and gmta), portland cement and calcium-enriched mixture (cem) cement used as root-end fi lling material, and to assess the agreement between these two test methods. materials a...

introduction: favorable apical seal of root filling materials is a crucial factor for a successful root canal treatment. the aim of this in vitro study was to compare bacterial and dye microleakage of two root canal filling materials including standard gutta-percha and nanosilver coated gutta-percha, and to evaluate the agreement between results of these two methods . materials & methods: fifty...

This study examines the role of endogenous nitric oxide (NO) in airway microvascular leakage induced inflammatory mediators, which play an important role in asthmatic airways. Guinea-pigs were anesthetized and mechanically-ventilated with monitoring of arterial blood pressure, and airway microvascular leakage induced by intravenous injection of substance P (SP), leukotriene D4 (LTD4) and histam...

introduction: the purpose of this in vitro study was to compare the coronal seal of four temporary filling materials, coltosol, zonalin, zamherir, and intermediate restorative material (irm) by the india ink dye penetration test. materials and methods: endodontic access preparations were prepared in 120 extracted intact human premolars. the teeth were randomly divided into six groups including ...

Purified Pseudomonas elastase injected subcutaneously into the skin of an Evans blue dye-injected (intravenously) guinea pig caused dye leakage similar to that observed when histamine or bradykinin was injected in the same animal. The histamine-induced dye leakage was ablated in antihistamine-treated guinea pigs, but elastase- and bradykinin-induced dye leakages were not. Local injections of sp...

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 (...
