The accuracy of ultrashort echo time MRI sequences for medical additive manufacturing.
CONCLUSIONS: This study demonstrates that MR imaging using UTE sequences is a feasible alternative to CT in generating STL models of the mandible, and would therefore be suitable for surgical planning and additive manufacturing. Further in-vivo studies are necessary to assess the usability of UTE MRI sequences in clinical settings. PMID: 26943179 [PubMed – as supplied by publisher] (Source: Dentomaxillofacial Radiology)

Cysteamine Enhances Biofilm Eradication Efficacy of Calcium Hydroxide
Calcium hydroxide (Ca[OH]2) is a widely used interappointment dressing, but its antibacterial property is compromised by dentin. Hence, the addition of chlorhexidine (CHX) with Ca(OH)2 has been proposed. However, the antimicrobial efficacy of this mixture compared with Ca(OH)2 alone is currently still debatable. Cysteamine is a mucolytic agent used to reduce the viscosity of mucus through the disruption of proteins, which are also important components of the extracellular matrix of biofilms. The aims of this study were to determine the efficacy of cysteamine alone and in combination with Ca(OH)2 to eradicate Enterococcus faecalis biofilm compared with CHX with Ca(OH)2, and to determine if this effect is affected by dentin.
