In vitro investigation of coupling-agent-free dental restorative composite based on nano-porous alumina fillers
Publication date: Available online 11 December 2013 Source:Journal of Dentistry Author(s): Sanjay B. Thorat , Alberto Diaspro , Marco Salerno Objectives The study aims at demonstrating the feasibility of a novel type of coupling-agent-free resin composite based on nano-porous fillers. Methods The fillers were obtained by ball-milling anodic alumina membranes. Composites were prepared with standard resin at maximum loading of 50% by weight. The resin matrix penetration into the pores was verified visually by scanning electron microscopy and mechanically by atomic force microscopy in force modulation mode. The dynamic flexural modulus at 1Hz was measured by dynamic mechanical analysis. Silver nanoparticles were also synthesized in the pores and their release was investigated with inductiv…

Clinical investigation of the effect of calcium hydroxide intracanal dressing on bacterial lipopolysaccharide reduction from infected root canals
Abstract The purpose of this clinical study was to determine the effect of 7 day intracanal dressing with calcium hydroxide on the amount of bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS; endotoxin) in human teeth with necrotic and infected pulp and apical periodontitis. Twenty?five single?rooted teeth with necrotic pulps and apical periodontitis were selected. Samples were collected before (S1), after root canal preparation (S2) and after 7 day intracanal dressing with calcium hydroxide (S3). The limulus amoebocyte lysate assay was used to quantify LPS. LPS was present in 100% of the root canals before (S1), after preparation (S2) and after 7 day intracanal dressing (S3). A significant reduction, equal to 29.54%, was found after root canal preparation (P?<?0.05). A significant difference (…
