Volume of sealer in the apical region of teeth filled by different techniques: a micro-CT analysis

Abstract The volume of sealer in the apical 1 mm of teeth filled using different techniques was evaluated by micro-commuted tomography (micro-CT). Sixty-four maxillary central incisors were prepared using NiTi rotary instruments. Teeth were randomly distributed into four groups according to root canal sealers (AH Plus, Endofill, Sealapex, and Sealer 26) and subdivided into two subgroups according to the filling techniques (active and passive lateral condensation; n = 8 each). Subsequently, teeth were examined using the 1174 SkyScan micro-CT device. Images were reconstructed using the NRecon software, and the sealer volume (mm3) in the apical region was analyzed using the two-way ANOVA and post-hoc Student–Newman–Keuls test (? = ?.??). The lowest volume of sealer was observed in tee…

Decreased expression of E?cadherin by Porphyromonas gingivalis?lipopolysaccharide attenuates epithelial barrier function

ConclusionThese results suggest that the decrease in E?cad caused by P. gingivalis?LPS leads to destruction of the epithelial barrier function in human gingival epithelial cells, and finally accelerates the inflammatory reaction under the barrier. Antioxidants, particularly vitamin E and l?ascorbic acid 2?phosphate magnesium salt, may restore the impaired function by scavenging ROS, which are related to the decrease in E?cad expression by P. gingivalis?LPS.
