The effects of oral environment stabilization procedures on counts of Candida spp. have rarely been discussed, and no conclusive results are found in the literature. The aim of this study was thus to ascertain the effects of oral environment stabilization procedures with glass ionomer and zinc oxide-eugenol cements on counts of Candida spp. in the oral cavity of children. For this purpose, oral...

The Phenolate Cement Zinc oxide-eugenol cements have always been regarded as the blandest in terms of their effect on the dental pulp. For this reason, these materials were commonly used as the control in biocompatibility pulp research studies on cements and restorative materials. Zinc oxide-eugenol cements have traditionally been used as temporary restoratives because of the sedative effect on...

The aim of this study was to assess the uniaxial tensile strength after thermal cycling in replicas of CeraOne abutments (abutment and coping sets), using four types of cements (n = 10). A zinc phosphate cement (Fosfato de Zinco/ SSW), a resin-modified glass ionomer cement (RelyX luting / 3M-ESPE), a zinc oxide-eugenol cement (ZOE/ SSW) and a zinc oxide cement without eugenol (TempBond NE/ KERR...

introduction: ferric sulfate pulpotomy is a safe and effective method of the pulpotomy of primary teeth. but the results of different studies indicate low success rate of ferric sulfate pulpotomy in comparison to formocresol pulpotomy and a portion of these failures may be related to stimulating and harmful effects of zinc oxide eugenol paste. the aim of this study was to determine and compare ...

an important factor that interferes with the bonding between the root canal wall and resin cement is the root canal sealer remnant. there is controversy about the effect of eugenol-containing sealers on the bond strength between resin cements and fiber post. the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of the type of endodontic sealer on the bond strength of frc posts cemented with resin ce...

AIMS AND OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to assess the outcome of eugenol-free and eugenol-containing cements on the bond strength of resin cement. MATERIALS AND METHODS Dentin was exposed in five groups of extracted teeth (20 specimens each). In Group 1, specimens were not given temporary cementation. In Groups 2 and 3, specimens were given temporary restoration fixed with eugenol-free ...

Results: All materials tested demonstrated different degrees of sorption and solubility. The glass ionomer cement had the best value for sorption. The zinc oxide eugenol and eugenol free cements had lower water sorption than the zinc polycarboxylate and zinc phosphate cements were evaluated. Some materials retained water in their structure and thus compensated for any loss of mass due to dissol...

An important requirement for dental materials placed in direct contact with living tissues is biocompatibility. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the antiproliferative activity of three dental materials (mineral trioxide aggregate, zinc oxide-eugenol cement, and glass-ionomer cement) against a panel of established fibroblastic cell lines (L929, BHK21/C13, and RPC-C2A). The materials wer...
