background. hemostatic agents are applied to prepare an isolated bleeding-free condition during dental treatments and can influence adhesive restorations. this study evaluated the effect of a hemostatic agent (viscostat) on microleakage of contaminated dentinal margin of class v composite resin restorations with three adhesives. methods. sixty freshly extracted human molars were selected and cl...

statement of the problem: hemostatic agents may influence the bond strength of different bonding agents. also, chlorhexidine has shown positive effects on bond strength values and their combination effect has not been reported yet. purpose: the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of contamination with a hemostatic agent on shear bond strength (sbs) of total- and self-etching adhesive s...

AIM This study evaluated the effect of three different contamination removal methods on bond strength of one-step self-etching adhesive to dentin contaminated with an aluminum chloride hemostatic agent. MATERIALS AND METHODS One hundred noncarious adult molars were used in this study; 2-mm-thick dentin disks were prepared and randomly assigned to 5 groups (n = 20). Group I: control; group II:...

BACKGROUND Contamination of dentin with hemostatic agents might exert a deleterious effect on adhesive procedures on dentin. The present study was undertaken to investigate the effect of aluminum chloride hemostatic agent on marginal gaps in Cl V giomer restorations. MATERIAL AND METHODS Fifty sound bovine permanent incisors were selected for the purpose of this in vitro study and Cl V caviti...

statement of problem: hemostatic agents may affect the micro-leakage of different adhesive systems. also, chlorhexidine has shown positive effects on micro-leakage. however, their interaction effect has not been reported yet. objectives: to evaluate the effect of contamination with a hemostatic agent on micro- leakage of total- and self-etching adhesive systems and the effect of chlorhexidine a...

BACKGROUND Endoscopic management of nonvariceal upper GI bleed (NVUGIB) can be challenging. Hemospray is a novel endoscopic hemostatic agent for NVUGIB. Its efficacy in attaining hemostasis in NVUGIB is promising, particularly with respect to technically difficult lesions. However, most of the currently available data are focused on its application as monotherapy. The aim of this study was to e...

Good hemostasis in surgery can provide multiple advantages to the patient, surgical team, and health care facility. Active and passive hemostatic agents have been widely used for many years and have extensive history supporting effective and safe use in a wide variety of surgical procedures. The type of surgical procedure, type of bleeding, hemostatic agent availability, and patient characteris...

Trauma is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality. Uncontrolled hemorrhage related to the traumatic event is often the major cause of complications and death. The use of hemostatic agents may be one of the easiest and most effective methods of treating hemorrhage. The US military recommends a hemostatic combat gauze (QuikClot Combat Gauze) as the first-line hemostatic agent for use in treatm...
