A Comparative Scanning Electron Microscopic Study on the Characteristics of Demineralized Dentin Root Surface Using Different Tetracycline HCl Concentrations and Application Times

Abstract

Dentin demineralization is not time dependent at all concentrations of tetracycline HCI.

Histological analysis of effects of 24% EDTA gel for nonsurgical treatment of periodontal tissues

“…Several previous studies that have assessed the effects of EDTA gel as a coadjuvant in periodontal treatment focused on the root surface of human teeth extracted due to severe periodontitis. The purpose of these studies was to analyze the surface topography of periodontally affected human tooth roots after application of EDTA gel with different combinations of treatments (4,5,7,12,(16)(17)(18)29,30). The authors concluded that root surfaces treated with EDTA appeared to be more suitable for cellular colonization and subsequent connective tissue formation (4,5), and exhibited numerous dentinal tubules exposed by removal of the smear layer (7,12,16,17,29), and an intact collagenous matrix (18,30).…”

“…One of the most widely used agents for this purpose is citric acid (9). However, other agents such as tetracycline (10)(11)(12) and ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) (6,13,14) have also been employed.…”

Blood Cells Attachment after Root Conditioning and PRP Application: An in vitro Study

“…Samples in the groups II, III, IV and V were conditioned during 3 minutes and solutions were renewed every 30 seconds. [18][19][20] After the conditioning procedure samples were washed with 10 ml of saline solution.…”

The effective concentration of red betel leaf (Piper crocatum) infusion as root canal irrigant solution

“…Thus, the more open dentin tubuli is, the more clean root canal walls of the smear layer. [21][22][23] SEM was chosen because this tool can be a b c d e figure 1. SEM photograph of the surface rootcanals in group: a) control: the entire root canal walls were covered with non-homogeneous smear layer (heavy), (b) 10% red betel leaf infusion: the entire root canal walls were covered with homogeneous smear layers, c) 20% red betel leaf infusion: the entire root canal walls were covered with homogeneous smear layers, d) 30% red betel leaf infusion: there was no smear layer, and all dentin tubuli were open and clean, e) 40% red betel leaf infusion: there was no smear layer, and all dentin tubuli were open and clean.…”
