objective: evaluating the effect of dentin conditioning with edta on microleakage of composite resin restorations, using two etch and rinse and two self-etch adhesives. materials and methods: one hundred and sixty extracted molars received class v cavity preparations right under the cej and were randomly divided into eight groups of 20, usingfour different adhesive systems. these adhesives incl...

Acinetobacter sp. strain MJT/F5/199A carries an array of tetragonally arranged subunits on its outer surface. The subunits can be detached from isolated cell walls by incubation with 1 M urea or by washing with water after treatment with 10 mM ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid or ethyleneglycol-bis(beta-aminoethylether)N,N'-tetraacetic acid. After removal of the urea, they reaggregate into the sa...

background today, the use of cyclodextrins (cds) is a major concern in drug formulations to improve solubility and stability of compounds. it has been known that cds can reduce the antimicrobial effectiveness of preservatives by formation of inclusion complexes. objectives in this study the interaction between commonly used preservatives, benzalkonium chloride (bzcl) or methyl paraben (mp), wit...

Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) was developed by Franz Munz inGermanyduring the 1930s as an alternative to citric acid. About the same time, Frederick Bersworth synthesized EDTA in the United States using a different technique. He obtained aUSpatent for this technique in1945. EDTAwas approvedby the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as a food additive in 1947. Since the early 1950s, E...

introduction: the aim of this in vitro study was to evaluate the effect of 10% citric acid and 17% ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (edta) irrigating solutions on the surface morphology of young and old root dentin by determining the number and diameter of dentinal tubules using scanning electron microscopy (sem). methods and materials: fifty healthy human teeth collected from young (≤30 years) ...

Endogenous phospholipase D and phosphatidic acid phosphatase activities were demonstrated in membrane fractions isolated from soybean (Glycine max L.) hypocotyls. Phospholipase D activity was distributed widely among different membrane fractions while phosphatidic acid phosphatase was found predominantly in membranes equilibrating in lower sucrose densities. Phospholipase D action was unaffecte...

Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) is a chelating agent can bind to metals via four carboxylate and two amine groups. It is a polyamino carboxylic acid and a colorless, water-soluble solid, which is widely used to dissolve lime scale. It is produced as several salts, notably disodium EDTA and calcium disodium EDTA. EDTA reacts with the calcium ions in dentine and forms soluble calcium chela...

Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, ethylenediamine-N,N'-disuccinic acid and ethylene glycol-bis(2-aminoethylether)-N,N,N',N'-tetraacetic acid are polyaminocarboxylic acids that are able to sequester metal ions. Calcium is implicated in maintenance of intercellular matrix, zonula occludens (tight junctions) and zonula adherens of epithelium and endothelium cells. Corneal epithelium is impervious t...
