Histomorphometric evaluation of strontium-containing nanostructured hydroxyapatite as bone substitute in sheep

Braz. oral res. (Online); 30 (1), 2016
Abstract The aim of this study is to evaluate the biocompatibility and osteoconductivity in surgical defects of sheep tibias filled with 1% strontium-containing nanostructured hydroxyapatite microspheres (SrHA), stoichiometric hydroxyapatite without strontium microspheres (HA), or blood clots. Santa Ines...

Effect of different salivary exposure times on the rehardening of acid-softened enamel

Braz. oral res. (Online); 30 (1), 2016
Abstract This in situ study assessed the effect of different times of salivary exposure on the rehardening of acid-softened enamel. Bovine enamel blocks were subjected in vitro to a short-term acidic exposure by immersion in 0.05 M (pH 2.5) citric acid for 30 s, resulting in surface softening. Then, 40 s...

Evaluation of the genotoxicity and mutagenicity of Ca3SiO5-based cement

Braz. oral res. (Online); 30 (1), 2016
Abstract Ca3SiO5 is new cement based on the composition of Portland that has been developed to have superior physicochemical and biological properties. In a clinical evaluation, the cement did not appear to have cytotoxic properties and allowed for the proliferation of pulp cells and gingival fibroblasts...

Effect of Resveratrol on periodontal pathogens during experimental periodontitis in rats

Braz. oral res. (Online); 30 (1), 2016
Abstract The objective of this study was to investigate the antibacterial effect of resveratrol against putative periodontal pathogens during the progression of experimental periodontitis in rats. Periodontitis was induced in rats in one of the first molars chosen to receive a ligature. Animals were assi...

Influence of diabetes mellitus on the mineralization ability of two endodontic materials

Braz. oral res. (Online); 30 (1), 2016
Abstract The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of diabetes mellituson tissue response and mineralization ability of Sealapex®and MTA Fillapex® sealers. Twenty-four Wistar rats were divided into two groups: diabetic and non-diabetic. The materials were placed in polyethylene tubes and impl...

Effect of the time-point of acid etching on the persistence of sealer residues after using different dental cleaning protocols

Braz. oral res. (Online); 30 (1), 2016
Abstract: Endodontic sealer residues remaining within the pulp chamber dentin after root canal obturation and cleaning with various solvents may compromise the appearance and the durability of dental restorations. Acid etching is routinely performed prior to application of dentine adhesive systems, but i...

Immunohistochemical expression of TGF-β1 and osteonectin in engineered and Ca(OH)2-repaired human pulp tissues

Braz. oral res. (Online); 30 (1), 2016
Abstract The aim of the present study was to evaluate the expression of transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) and osteonectin (ON) in pulp-like tissues developed by tissue engineering and to compare it with the expression of these proteins in pulps treated with Ca(OH)2 therapy. Tooth slices we...

Cytotoxicity and genotoxicity of calcium silicate-based cements on an osteoblast lineage

Braz. oral res. (Online); 30 (1), 2016
Abstract Several calcium silicate-based biomaterials have been developed in recent years, in addition to Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA). The aim of this study was to evaluate the cytotoxicity, genotoxicity and apoptosis/necrosis in human osteoblast cells (SAOS-2) of pure calcium silicate-based cements ...

Root filling bond strength using reciprocating file-matched single-cones with different sealers

Braz. oral res. (Online); 30 (1), 2016
Abstract The aim of the present study was to evaluate the bond strength (BS) of root canal fillings to root dentin using the reciprocating file-matched single-cone or lateral compaction techniques with resin-based and calcium-silicate-based sealers. Maxillary canine roots were prepared and filled using o...

Effect of root canal filling techniques on the bond strength of epoxy resin-based sealers

Braz. oral res. (Online); 30 (1), 2016
Abstract The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of different root canal filling techniques on the bond strength of epoxy resin-based sealers. Sixty single-rooted canines were prepared using ProTaper (F5) and divided into the following groups based on the root filling technique: Lateral Compact...
