The immobilization of potassium sorbate, potassium aspartate and sorbic acid in layered double hydroxide under solid condition was examined. By simply mixing two solids, immobilization of sorbate and aspartate in the interlayer space of nitrate-type layered double hydroxide, so called intercalation reaction, was achieved, and the uptakes, that is, the amount of immobilized salts and the interla...

AIM To investigate the chemical interaction of calcium hydroxide with the corticosteroid triamcinolone acetonide in Ledermix Paste and in Odontopaste, a new steroid/antibiotic paste. METHODOLOGY Validated methods were developed to analyse the interaction of calcium hydroxide in two forms, Pulpdent Paste and calcium hydroxide powder, with triamcinolone acetonide within Odontopaste and Ledermix...

The purpose of this study was to evaluate in vitro the antibacterial effect of calcium hydroxide points by using a broth dilution test. Extracts of calcium hydroxide points and a calcium hydroxide paste (Calasept) were tested by using 2 facultative anaerobic bacteria, Streptococcus mutans (ATCC 27352) and Enterococcus faecalis (ATCC 29212). Saline solution was used as a control. Each tested age...

AIM To evaluate and compare the antimicrobial properties of propolis and calcium hydroxide alone and in combination with ciprofloxacin and moxifloxacin against Enterococcus faecalis (E. Faecalis). MATERIALS AND METHODS The laboratory study was carried out to test the effectiveness of propolis and calcium hydroxidealone as well as in combination with the established endodontic medicaments (mox...

BACKGROUND Microscopy of a potassium hydroxide preparation of skin scrapings or nail clippings, although widely advocated as a test for dermatomycosis, is used in only a small proportion of cases. AIM This study set out to investigate the effect of potassium hydroxide testing on the subjectively assessed probability that a dermatomycosis was present. METHOD The study was undertaken in 1992 ...

introduction this study was intended to evaluate the nutritional value, phenolic compounds and digestibility coefficients of barberry leaves. berberis vulgaris is one of the major crops in the province. the province has more than 70 percent and 95 percent of the total area under cultivation of barberry. waste and foliage of barberry harvest traditionally used to feed livestock tannin concentrat...

background: different techniques have been introduced to improve removing the calcium hydroxide intra-canal dressing. the purpose of this study was to compare the effi ciency of passive ultrasonic irrigation (pui) and rinsendo system in the removal of calcium hydroxide from root canal system. materials and methods: access cavities were prepared in 50 single-rooted anterior teeth. cleaning and s...
