Background&Aims: Themajor objective of root canal treatment is to disinfect the entire root canal system, which requires that all contents of the root canal system be eliminated as possible sources of infection. This goal may be accomplished using mechanical instrumentation and chemical irrigation. To reduce or eliminate bacteria various irrigation solutions have been applied during the treatme...

Direct pulp capping is one of the most common dental practices in endodontic therapy. This systematic review and meta-analysis aim to determine whether the effect of mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) and calcium hydroxide for direct pulp capping is different, as measured by the clinical and radiographic analysis. The study list was obtained by searching PubMed, Springer Link, Scopus and Cochrane...

Aluminum adjuvants are widely used in human vaccines based on their ability to enhance antibody production. However, the mechanisms underlying these effects remain unknown. In the present study we assessed the direct in vitro effect of aluminum hydroxide on human peripheral blood monocytes, specifically with regard to its impact on the phenotype and functional properties of this cell population...

INTRODUCTION An ideal intracanal medicament should be able to eliminate any remaining intracanal microorganism. The aim of this study was to compare the antimicrobial effects of Bioglass 45S5 with calcium hydroxide on Enterococcus (E) faecalis in-vitro. MATERIALS AND METHODS Direct exposure test (DET) was used to evaluate the antimicrobial effect of Bioglass 45S5, calcium hydroxide and normal...

The surface charge of water, which is important in a wide range of chemical, biological, material, and environmental contexts, has been a subject of lengthy and heated debate. Recently, it has been shown that the highly efficient LEWIS force field, in which semiclassical, independently mobile valence electron pairs capture the amphiproticity, polarizability and H-bonding of water, provides an e...

this study was aimed to investigate the possibility of using magnesium hydroxide as an alternative for sodium hydroxide in deinking of newsprint and magazine mixture. the old newsprint and magazine mixture (onp/omg -70/30) was treated by magnesium hydroxide at three levels: 1, 1.5 and 2 percent (based on oven dried pulp weight), for 20 min. optical and mechanical properties and effluent cod loa...

i ntroduction: calcium hydroxide (ch) is one of the most common intracanal medications. corticosteroids (cs) are used in endodontics because of their anti-inflammatory activity. this study aimed to evaluate the antimicrobial effect of ch+betamethasone and ch+saline against enterococcus faecalis ( e. faecalis ) using agar diffusion test and measuring the microbial zone of inhibition (zoi). metho...

BACKGROUND Genital warts are caused by human papillomavirus infection and represent one of the most common sexually transmitted diseases. Many infections are transient but the virus may recur, persist, or become latent. To date, there is no effective antiviral treatment to eliminate HPV infection and most therapies are aimed at the destruction of visible lesions. Potassium hydroxide is a strong...
