Eficacia Antimicrobiana del Cemento Portland Comparado con el Mineral Trióxido Agregado Frente a Enterococcus faecalis y Candida albicans

RESUMEN: El objetivo del estudio experimental in vitro fue evaluar la eficacia antimicrobiana del cemento Portland (CP) comparado con el Mineral Trióxido Agregado (MTA) frente a cepas de Enterococcus faecalis (E. faecalis) y Candida albicans (C. albicans) a las 24, 48 y 72 horas después del sembrado. P...

Could polyhexanide and chlorine dioxide be used as an alternative to chlorhexidine? A systematic review

Säo Paulo med. j; 140 (1), 2022
ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Maintenance of oral microbiota balance is the simplest way to prevent infectious oral diseases, through controlling dental biofilm. Combined use of mouthwash and mechanical removal has been shown to be a very effective way for this. OBJECTIVES: To identify clinical studies compar...

Cytotoxicity and cytokine production by calcium silicate-based materials on periodontal ligament stem cells

Braz. dent. j; 32 (3), 2021
Abstract This study investigated the effect of three commercial calcium silicate-based materials (CSBM) on cytotoxicity and pro-and anti-inflammatory cytokines production in cultured human periodontal ligament stem cells (hPDLSCs). Culture of hPDLSCs was established and characterized. Extracts of Bio-C S...

Fracture resistance of simulated immature teeth reinforced with different mineral aggregate-based materials

Braz. dent. j; 32 (3), 2021
Abstract This study assessed the fracture resistance of simulated immature teeth reinforced with calcium aluminate cement (CAC) or mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) containing calcium carbonate nanoparticles (nano-CaCO3). The microstructural arrangement of the cements and their chemical constitution were ...

Biological and physico-mechanical properties of poly (methyl methacrylate) enriched with graphene oxide as a potential biomaterial

J. oral res. (Impresa); 10 (2), 2021
Objective: To determine the cytotoxicity and effects of graphene oxide (GO) on cellular proliferation of gingival-fibroblasts, pulp-dental cells and human osteoblasts in culture, and to determine the physical, mechanical and biological properties of poly (methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) enriched with GO. Mat...

Effect of different dimensions of test samples on the volumetric change assessment of endodontic materials

Braz. dent. j; 32 (1), 2021
Abstract New methodologies using micro-CT to evaluate solubility besides dimensional and morphological changes of endodontic materials are proposed. However, there is no standardization in the methods. The aim of this study was to assess the effect of different dimensions of test samples on volumetric ch...

Tooth discoloration using calcium silicate-based cements for simulated revascularization in vitro

Braz. dent. j; 32 (1), 2021
Abstract The endodontic revascularization may be an alternative treatment for necrotic immature teeth, however, several treatment steps may cause tooth discoloration. This study evaluated the use of three calcium silicate-based cements with different radiopacifying agents on the color alteration (∆...

Eficacia clínica del MTA en Pulpotomías de pacientes pediátricos: Una Revisión Sistemática

Objetivo: Analizar la eficacia clínica del Agregado Trióxido Mineral (MTA) en pulpotomías a través de estudios comparativos con el formocresol, sulfato férrico e hidróxido de calcio; en pacientes pediátricos con edad de tres a nueve años. Materiales y Métodos: El artículo se basa en una revisi...

Investigation of a modified hydraulic calcium silicate-based material - Bio-C Pulpo

Abstract This study evaluated the physicochemical, biological, and antimicrobial properties of a new hydraulic calcium silicate-based modified material, and compared it with MTA Repair HP and MTA Angelus. The materials were assessed regarding color luminosity (L), color change, radiopacity, setting time,...

Cytotoxicity, and antimicrobial and physicochemical properties of sealers incorporated with Uncaria tomentosa

Abstract This study evaluated the cytotoxicity, the antimicrobial and physicochemical properties of root canal sealers incorporated with phytotherapic Uncaria tomentosa (UT). Unmodified AH Plus (Dentsply, DeTrey, Germany) and MTA Fillapex (Angelus, Londrina, Brazil) were used as controls. UT was incorpor...
