Influence of Polymeric Carriers on the pH-Modifying Properties of Intracanal Medicaments in Root Canal Treatment
Abstract: Calcium hydroxide (CH) preparations and medicated gutta-percha are widely used intracanal medicaments in root canal treatment. These materials often incorporate polymeric carriers to deliver the CH payload and influence its therapeutic effect. This in-vitro study investigates the impact of different polymeric carriers on the pH-modifying properties of intracanal medicaments within the root canal system. The research focuses on two key aspects: (1) the ability of the polymers to control the …

Comparative Evaluation of the Use of LSTR with Double Antibiotic Paste Versus Zinc Oxide Eugenol as Obturating Material in Primary Teeth Pulpectomy
Abstract: The management of infected primary teeth is a vital aspect of pediatric dentistry, with the primary objective being the retention of the tooth in the oral cavity until its natural exfoliation. Preserving the health, structure, and appearance of primary teeth is essential for ensuring the correct eruption and alignment of permanent teeth. Pulpectomy has traditionally been the preferred treatment for primary teeth with irreversible pulp damage. Traditionally, Zinc Oxide Eugenol …

Plant Bioactive Metabolites and Their Role in the Prevention and Control of Dental Diseases and Infections.
Abstract: The oral diseases, including dental caries and periodontitis, affect masses worldwide, and have historically been managed with synthetic antimicrobials that cause deleterious side effects, leading to mounting bacterial resistance. Consequently, contemporary dentistry is rapidly shifting toward phytomedicine using plant bioactive molecules, such as polyphenols, terpenes, anthraquinones (berberin, eugenol, curcumin, catechins, allicin, and azadirachtin. These compounds offer potent antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and tissue-regenerative properties that are crucial for preventing and curing dental …
