Effect of Calcium Hydroxide on the Fracture Resistance of Dentin
نویسندگان
چکیده
An increased incidence of fracture has been reported in teeth where root canals were treated with calcium hydroxide. Edge chipping is one test used to measure the resistance of brittle materials to fracture. Presently, no studies have reported on edge chipping in teeth. This study evaluated the fracture resistance of human dentin exposed to calcium hydroxide for up to 60 days using the edge chipping method. Twelve recently extracted teeth were divided into a control group and three experimental groups with varying calcium hydroxide exposures. All teeth underwent pulpectomy via standard protocol. It was expected that the edge chip resistance would decrease as a function of exposure, but the results showed the converse. Chip resistance may reflect both the fracture resistance and the hardness of dentin, a quasi brittle material.

Background and Aim: During root canal therapy, it is necessary to remove as many bacteria as possible from the root canal. The use of medicaments is recommended to reduce the microbial population prior to root filling. Calcium hydroxide pastes have been used because of their antibacterial effects and the ability of tissue dissolving. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of calcium h...

Microorganisms are very important in the initiation of pulpo-periapical pathosis. Due to the complexity of the root canal system, the mechanical instrumentation of the root canal system should be supplemented with proper canal irrigants and medicaments. It has been revealed that due to the interactions of canal irrigants and medicaments with dentin and contents of the canal system, the antimicr...

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 ...
متن کاملEffect of calcium hydroxide application time on dentin
Currently calcium hydroxide is often used as an intra-canal medication during root canal treatment. It has a pH of approximately 12.5, and it has antimicrobial activity, tissue-dissolving ability, inhibits tooth resorption and induces repair by hard tissue formation. It has been promoted for intra-canal placement for various endodontic conditions, including apexification, apexogenesis, after tr...
متن کاملShort Term Effect of Calcium Hydroxide, Mineral Trioxide Aggregate and Calcium-Enriched Mixture Cement on the Strength of Bovine Root Dentin
INTRODUCTION Some studies in dental literature have proposed that short term and long term exposure of root dentin to calcium hydroxide predisposes it to fracture. Mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) and a recently introduced endodontic material, calcium-enriched mixture (CEM) cement may be used instead of calcium hydroxide and might have an effect on the strength of root dentin. Therefore, the ai...
