introduction: the purpose of this in vitro study was to compare the ability of triple antibiotic paste (tap) to calcium hydroxide (ch) in disinfecting dentinal tubules. material and methods: sixty root blocks were obtained from extracted single-rooted human teeth. the root canals were enlarged with gates-glidden drills up to size 3 and were contaminated with enterococcus. faecalis ( e. faecalis...

introduction: the purpose of this study was to determine the in vitro antimicrobial ability against entrococcus (e.) faecalis of triple antibiotic paste and its components compared with calcium hydroxide mixtures . materials and methods: an agar well diffusion assay and mic method were used to determine the efficacy of the experimental medicaments in removing e. faecalis. medicaments were divid...

objective: considering the use of triple antibiotic paste (tap) for root canal treatment of open apex teeth, this study aimed to assess the effect of tap and calcium hydroxide (ch) on bond strength of composite to dentin.   methods: this in-vitro study was conducted on 32 extracted human premolar teeth. after disinfection with 2% thymol solution, the enamel on the buccal surface of specimens wa...

objective: in necrotic immature teeth, intra canal medicaments such as triple antibiotic paste (tap) and calcium hydroxide (ch) are used for root canal disinfection and regeneration treatment. however, the effect of these medicaments on dental pulp fibroblasts has yet to be known. this study aimed to assess the cytotoxicity of ch and tap against cultured human dental pulp fibroblasts (hdpfs) ob...

background and aim: bacterial elimination from root canal system is one of the aims in endodontic treatments, so the addition of antibiotics to sealers can increase their antimicrobial efficacy, as in this study we are determining the in-vitro antimicrobial effect of ah26 and ah plus sealers mixed with amoxicillin, triple antibiotic pastes and nanosilver on enterococcus faecalis. materials and ...

persistent microorganisms in the root canal are known to cause endodontic treatments failure. overextended gutta-percha can also act as a periradicular tissue irritant, leading to large periapical lesions. retrieval of overextended gutta-percha with a nonsurgical approach can prove to be a challenge. this case describes the nonsurgical management of a large periapical lesion associated with ove...

MATERIALS AND METHODS An agar well diffusion assay and MIC method were used to determine the efficacy of the experimental medicaments in removing E. faecalis. Medicaments were divide...

BACKGROUND Allergic reactions to antibiotics are common in daily clinical allergy practice. Oral drug provocation tests (ODPT) are used to determine safe alternative antibiotics in addition to diagnostic purposes. In one of our previous studies, we have shown that triple test was a safe, time-saving and cost-effective method for determining safe alternatives for patients with non-steroidal anti...

BACKGROUND Enterococcus faecalis is a microorganism commonly detected in asymptomatic, persistent endodontic infections. Triple antibiotic paste has stood the test of time as a proven antibiotic combination against E. Faecalis. However, problems with this include staining of teeth and standardization of the preparation. Thus, the search for better alternatives and better preparation techniques ...
