Impact of calcium aluminate cement with additives on dental pulp-derived cells

J. appl. oral sci; 28 (), 2020
Abstract Calcium aluminate cement (CAC) has been highlighted as a promising alternative for endodontic use aiming at periapical tissue repair. However, its effects on dental pulp cells have been poorly explored. Objective: This study assessed the impact of calcium chloride (CaCl2) and bismuth oxide (Bi2O...

Model resin composites incorporating ZnO-NP: activity against S. mutans and physicochemical properties characterization

J. appl. oral sci; 26 (), 2018
Abstract Although resin composites are widely used in the clinical practice, the development of recurrent caries at composite-tooth interface still remains as one of the principal shortcomings to be overcome in this field. Objectives To evaluate the activity against S. mutans biofilm of model resin comp...
