Abstract

3Mix and Vitapex((R)) can be used as a root canal treatment agent in pulpally involved primary teeth.

Clinical and Radiographic Success of Electrosurgical Pulpectomy in Primary Teeth

“…After 6 months, clinical and radiographic success rates in the ES (90.5 and 85.7%, respectively) and C groups (88.9 and 72.2%, respectively) were comparable to those observed in previous studies, which have reported clinical success rates of 96 to 100% and radiographic success rates of 76 to 84% during 6 to 22.6 months of follow-up 6,8,11,18) . Trairatvorakul and Detsomboonrat (2012) reported clinical and radiographic success rates to be 94.9 and 54.4%, respectively, at a 6-month follow-up 19) .…”

“…Nakornchai et al (2010) reported no pathologic mobility, whereas Trairatvorakul and Detsomboonrat (2012) noted that 6.6% of patients showed pathologic mobility 8,19) . At a 2-year follow-up, Kargul et al (2010) reported that 4.6% of patients presented with pathologic mobility 5) .…”

“…Trairatvorakul and Detsomboonrat (2012) used triple antibiotic paste in endodontic treatment of mandibular primary molars of 60 cases and reported no case of pain at a 6-month follow-up 19) . Another study examined triple antibiotic paste and Vitapex in 50 molars and observed no case with pain after 6 months of follow-up 4,8,19) . In the present study, no cases of pathologic mobility were observed.…”

In vitro antimicrobial effects of grape seed extract on peri-implantitis microflora in craniofacial implants

“…Propylene glycol and polyethylene glycol have also been used as vehicles in the preparation of 3 Mix, which is a mixture of 3 types of antibiotics and has been used to treat pulpally involved primary molars. Propylene glycol and polyethylene glycol serves as good drug delivery system because of its biocompatibility, ease in manipulation, and handling [12] . In the study, propylene glycol and polyethylene glycol combination did not exhibit any microbial inhibitory effects of its own.…”

Performance de diferentes métodos de instrumentação radicular em dentes decíduos humanos e artificiais avaliado pela tomografia computadorizada por feixe cônico

“…Os poucos estudos existentes para o tratamento endodôntico radical abordam o efeito de materiais obturadores e irrigantes dentro do canal (Mortazavi;Mesbahi, 2004;Cerqueira et al, 2008;Nakornchai et al, 2010). A técnica endodôntica completa detalhada acaba deixando de ser aprofundada, e os diferentes passos técnicos que poderiam aperfeiçoar esse tipo de conduta terapêutica são ainda poucos explorados.…”
