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 ...

objective: zinc oxide eugenol (zoe) under composite restorations should be covered with a suitable material in order to prevent the harmful effect of zoe on the composite. the aim of this in vitro study was to evaluate microleakage of composite restorations in pulpotomized primary molars with different bases for covering the zoe layer and to assess the distance between different layers. materia...

introduction: the aim of this animal study was to evaluate the histological response of the new nano zinc-oxide eugenol (nzoe) sealer in comparison with pulp canal sealer (zoe based) and ah-26 (epoxy resin sealer). methods and materials: a total of 27 wistar rats were used. four polyethylene tubes were implanted in the back of each rat (three tubes containing the test materials and an empty tub...

introduction: intrinsic tooth discolorations after endodontic treatment are principally attributed to the composition of necrotic pulp tissue, hemorrhage within the pulp cavity, endodontic medicaments and/or filling materials. residual sealer left in pulp chamber after obturation can cause discoloration. the objective of this in vitro study was to evaluate coronal discoloration created by ah26 ...

introduction: pulpectomy is a conservative treatment plan for primary necrotic teeth and zinc oxide eugenol is still a good choice as root canal filling material but long term studies on poor prognosis molars are limited and almost contradictory. the purpose of this study is to evaluate the clinical and radiographical success rate of pulpectomy of necrotic primary molars using zoe as the root c...

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 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...

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...
