Objective: Tooth hypersensitivity often starts in early adulthood because of gum recession and loss of the cementum covering dentin. The purpose of this study was to compare the effect of toothpaste,1 containing triclosan, potassium nitrate, zinc citrate,2 triclosan, potassium nitrate,3 calcium sodium phosphosilicate (novamin) on gingival health, plaque formation and dentin hypersensitivity in ...

Nitrite and nitrate are main stable products of nitric oxide, a pivotal cellular signaling molecule, in biological fluids. Therefore, accurate measurement of the two ions is profoundly important. Nitrite is difficult to be determined for a larger number of interferences and unstable in the presence of oxygen. In this paper, a simple, cost-effective and accurate HPLC method for the determination...

AIM The aim of this clinical investigation was to compare the efficacy of Gluma Desensitizer and potassium nitrate desensitizing agents on the reduction of hypersensitivity of teeth prepared for full coverage crowns. METHODS AND MATERIALS This study included 75 vital teeth in 25 patients in need of fixed prosthesis treatment. After completing routine examinations, hypersensitivity of the teet...

background: strontium, zinc, and potassium salts have been demonstrated to inhibit irritation and infl ammation when applied topically. particularly, strontium chloride (sc) and potassium nitrate (kn) are reported to reduce skin and tooth sensitivity.the aim of the present study was to compare the anti-irritant eff ects of four inorganic salts and assign the ingredient which can suppress skin i...

We validated the nitrate reductase assay (NRA) for the detection of multidrug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MDR-TB) using sodium nitrate (NaNO3) in replacement of potassium nitrate (KNO3) as nitrate source. NaNO3 is cheaper than KNO3 and has no restriction on use which facilitates the implementation of NRA to detect MDR-TB.

This study aimed to analyze the ecotoxicity of nitrogen-, phosphorus-, and potassium-based compounds to organisms of two different trophic levels in order to compare the toxic effect between high-purity substances and these substances as components of fertilizers. Dilutions were made with the fertilizers' potassium chloride, potassium nitrate, superphosphate, urea, and their equivalent reagents...
