BACKGROUND Different studies have used different tests to evaluate bond strength of resin cements to root dentin. In this in vitrostudy, three different tests were used to evaluate the bond strength of two resin cements to root dentin using two root dentin irrigation protocols. MATERIAL AND METHODS Ninety-six intact single-rooted teeth were selected for this study. Forty-eight teeth, with a r...

conclusions the experimental data verified that hebd leaves displayed remarkable antinociceptive activity. furthermore, the nonselective opioid receptor antagonist, naloxone blocked the antinociceptive effect of the extract in all tests, suggesting that hebd may act both at peripheral and central levels. results using writhing, tail-flick, and formalin tests, dramatic antinociceptive effects wer...
