The aim of this study was to assess HYBENX® Oral Tissue Decontaminant (HOTD) in treating vital pulp exposure in a canine model. The use of HOTD solution was compared to an accepted and standard regimen for vital pulp exposure, an application of a commercial calcium hydroxide product (Ca(OH)2). Both control and experimental treatments were followed by restoration with a commercial zinc oxide and...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this in vitro study was to investigate whether mixing with calcium hydroxide [Ca(OH)2] affects the antimicrobial action of Octenidine hydrochloride (Octenisept), MTAD and chlorhexidine against Enterococcus faecalis and Candida albicans. MATERIALS AND METHODS Freshly grown cultures of Enterococcus faecalis, Candida albicans and a mixture of both strains were incubated in a...

Bone sialoprotein (BSP) is a mineralized tissue-specific protein expressed in differentiated osteoblasts that appears to function in the initial mineralization of bone. Calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)(2)) is a basic salt that has been widely used for a variety of applications in dentistry, due to its antimicrobial effects and its capability of inducing hard tissue formation. However, details of the m...

Background and Aim: To evaluate the pH and calcium ion (Ca2+) release of calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)2) powder mixed with 3 different vehicles and one Ca(OH)2-based commercial paste. Materials and Methods: Forty-five polyethylene tubes with simulated root canals were used and divided into four groups (n=10); Group 1: Ca(OH)2 based-paste (SURE-Paste), Group 2: Ca(OH)2 powder mixed with articainHCl+...

1. This study was carried out to investigate the effects of 1, 25-dihydroxycholecalciferol (1, 25 (OH)2 D3) and a hydroalcoholic extract of Withania somnifera (WS) root on performance, mineral retention, bone mineralisation, bone mechanical and bone histological characteristics of broiler chicks. 2. A 2 × 3 × 2 factorial experiment consisted of a positive control diet with adequate Ca and a neg...

This study examined the stress-strain behavior of 10 calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)2)-activated Hwangtoh concrete mixes. The volumetric ratio of the coarse aggregate (V agg) and the water-to-binder (W/B) ratio were selected as the main test variables. Two W/B ratios (25% and 40%) were used and the value of V agg varied between 0% and 40.0%, and 0% and 46.5% for W/B ratios of 25% and 40%, respectivel...

Rats(r) with secondary hyperparathyroidism were studied to define the relationship between vitamin D metabolites and rPTH levels measured by 3 different rat ELISAs. Controls and renal failure (RF) rats were on a normal diet, while 2 groups on a low-calcium (-Ca) or a vitamin D-deficient (-D) diet. RF was induced surgically. Mild RF rats had normal calcium and 25(OH)D but reduced 1,25(OH)(2)D le...

Purpose: to reveal the effect of different concentrations prepared calcium hydroxide pastes (70%, 50%, and 30%) used in regenerative endodontic on microhardness fracture resistance radicular dentin. Material methods: Different (Ca(OH)2) were with measured pH, then forty eight single rooted teeth randomized into three groups according Ca(OH)2 paste (12 samples each) 12 availed as control group. ...

an experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of fruit hydroalcoholic extract of withania coagulans (wc) and 1, 25-dihydroxycholecalciferol on bone mechanical and histological properties of male chickens. diets were arranged factorially (2×3×2) consisted of a positive control with adequate ca (10.4 g/kg diet) and nonphytate p (npp; 5 g/kg diet) exceed the requirements suggested in the ...

OBJECTIVES Sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) is an excellent bactericidal agent, but it is detrimental to stem cell survival, whereas intracanal medicaments such as calcium hydroxide (Ca[OH]2) promote the survival and proliferation of stem cells. This study evaluated the effect of sequential NaOCl and Ca[OH]2 application on the attachment and differentiation of dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs). MATER...
