Numerous failures in root canal treatment (RCT), attributed to the persistence of adverse
microbiota, prompted researchers to develop a biomaterial with effective antibacterial and …

Dental biomaterials have revolutionized modern therapies. Untreated dental caries remains
the major etiological factor for endodontic treatment, and together with a decreasing rate of …

INTRODUCTION: Microbial adhesion and subsequent biofilm formation on endodontic root
canal filling materials and sealers lead to survival of microorganisms in treated root canals …

Objective. The aim of this study was to evaluate the antimicrobial activity and pH changes
induced by Portland cement (PC) alone and in association with radiopacifiers. Methods. The …

Advances in treatment of tooth injury have shown that tooth regeneration from the pulp was
a viable alternative of root canal therapy. In this study, we demonstrated that Gutta-percha …

An efficient synthesis of novel difenoconazole analogues is described. The synthetic route
involves a Friedel-Crafts acylation on triclosan molecule followed by a sequential azide …

To develop a root canal filling material with high antimicrobial activity, we prepared
guttapercha supplemented with the cationic surfactant cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC) …

The potential use of zinc oxide and other metal oxide nanoparticles in biomedicine are
gaining interest in the scientific and medical communities, largely due to the physical and …

Gutta Percha (GP) cones are made in an aseptic environment, a number of investigations
have shown the presence of bacteria in recently opened boxes and this contamination rises …

Aim: to evaluate in vitro the effectiveness of different chemical auxiliary substances used to
promote decontamination of gutta-percha cones contaminated with different …
