introduction: antibacterial activity is one of the desirable properties of an ideal sealer. this study aimed to compare the antimicrobial effect of three different sealers, i.e. resin (ah26), calcium hydroxide (apexit) and zinc oxide eugenol (zoe) based sealers.   materials and methods: direct contact test with agar diffusion was used in this in vitro study. the freshly mixed sealers were ah26,...

Objective: There is a lack of high-quality evidence on the efficacy non-instrumentation endodontic treatment (NIET) in primary molars, compared to conventional technique. This protocol describes multicenter randomized clinical trial that aims evaluate NIET technique for molars using paste containing antibiotics (chloramphenicol and tetracycline – CTZ group) control group root filling with zinc ...

PURPOSE This study evaluated the effect of different cements on resistance to dislodgment of crowns cemented on preparations lacking geometric resistance form. MATERIALS AND METHODS A preparation that offered no geometric resistance form, with 20 degrees total occlusal convergence (TOC), 0.9 mm wide shoulder finish line, and a 2.5 mm axial wall height was created on an ivorine tooth using a m...

Five techniques for delivering ZOE into straight and curved simulated root canals were investigated for their depthof-fill capabilities. The techniques tested were those using the endodontic pressure syringe, the mechanical syringe, the lentuIo spiral, the JiffyTM Tube, and the tuberculin syringe. Statistical analysis revealed that the instruments of choice for filling straight canals were the ...

objective: zinc oxide eugenol (zoe) under composite restorations should be covered with a suitable material in order to prevent the harmful effect of zoe on the composite. the aim of this in vitro study was to evaluate microleakage of composite restorations in pulpotomized primary molars with different bases for covering the zoe layer and to assess the distance between different layers. materia...

Background and Purpose: Root canal therapy is the primary method for the treatment of an infected pulp in modern dentistry. The main aim of endodontic treatment is the elimination of bacteria and their products from infected root canals. In this study, we attempted to investigate the antimicrobial activity of three root canal sealers against oral pathogens. Materials and Methods: The antimic...
