In vivo pulpal responses in monkeys and in vitro bacterial inhibition studies were completed on new copper amalgams, Sybraloy, Dispersalloy, Tytin and a conventional Spheraloy amalgam. Amalgams were placed in cavities lined with ZOE and in unlined cavities. Silicate and ZOE were used as controls. A total of 165 adult monkey teeth were evaluated at 3 days, 5 and 8 weeks. At 3 days the pulpal res...

Microleakage is related to recurrent decay, inflammation of vital pulps, and reinfection of previously treated root canals. The purpose of this investigation was to compare the abilities of new adhesive cements and conventional nonadhesive controls to prevent microleakage under stainless steel crowns on primary anterior teeth. Standardized preparations were made, and stainless steel crowns were...

Zinc oxide-eugenol (ZOE) is usually applied clinically as dental filling material for thermal insulation and temporary restoration. The objective of this study was to use ZOE as a composite matrix and low melting-point polyester fibers or fabrics as reinforcement. The added fibers or fabrics increased the composite materials’ compressive load by 250 N and 290 N, respectively. Fiber length and t...

The purpose of this study was to evaluate clinically and radiographically pulpotomies in human primary teeth treated with glutaraldehyde (GA) incorporated into the ZOE subbase without prior 5-min cotton pellet application. Thirty-five cariously exposed primary molars of 35 children 4 to 9 years old were pulpotomized and based with ZOE into which 2% unbuffered GA had been incorporated. Clinical ...
