Download or read book Pediatric Endodontics written by Anna Fuks and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-02-25 with total page 171 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides dental professionals with a clear understanding of current clinical and scientific knowledge on the various aspects of pulp treatment for both primary and young permanent teeth. Diagnostic parameters are clearly presented, along with step-by-step descriptions of clinical procedures, including indirect and direct pulp treatments, pulpotomy, and pulpectomy. The rationale for the materials used in each technique and their individual merits and disadvantages are examined in detail. In the case of pulpotomy, all the materials used since the introduction of this treatment modality are discussed (e.g., formocresol, glutaraldehyde, ferric sulfate, and MTA) and the roles of sodium hypochlorite, electrofulguration, and laser therapy are elucidated. Special attention is devoted to pulpectomy and root canal treatment, with consideration of debriding and obturation techniques, rinsing solutions, and root-filling pastes. A further individual chapter is dedicated to restorations of teeth treated with the different types of pulp therapy. The various conservative treatment modalities are also presented, including specific treatments for immature nonvital permanent teeth. The concluding chapter looks to the future and the potential value of stem cells in pulp therapy.
Download or read book Pharmacological Studies in Natural Oral Care written by Durgesh Nandini Chauhan and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2023-09-14 with total page 1007 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pharmacological Studies in Natural Oral Care Edited by a natural product scientist, clinician, pharmacologist and a dental surgeon, the book helps oral care specialists to implement safe and effective natural medicine therapies to complement current practice guidelines. With oral care specialists focusing their attention on the interdisciplinary connections between oral health, heart health, gastrointestinal health, etc., and with increasing antibiotic resistance and stronger antibiotics now reserved for serious active infection, the importance of herbal antibiotics is increasing exponentially. This book helps to implement safe and effective natural medicine therapies to complement the current practice guidelines. Pharmacological Studies in Natural Oral Care is a comprehensive compilation and explores all the measures to utilize the natural oral care obtained from plants, animals, and mineral drugs for dental care. Herbal extracts are used in dentistry for reducing inflammation, as antimicrobial plaque agents, for preventing the release of histamine, and as antiseptics, antioxidants, antimicrobials, antifungals, antibacterials, antivirals and analgesics. They also aid in healing and are effective in controlling microbial plaque in gingivitis and periodontitis, thereby improving immunity. Audience This important new book will be invaluable to medicinal chemists, pharmacologists, natural product formulation scientists, dental surgeons, orthodontists, periodontists, endodontists, prosthodontists, maxillofacial surgeons, dentists, oral hygienists, as well as a reference for the pharmaceutical/ herbal industries and dental libraries.

Download or read book The Root Canal Biofilm written by Luis E. Chávez de Paz and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-10-20 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents the current state of research on the basic scientific aspects of root canal biofilm biology within a clinically applicable context. Root canal biofilms are complex polymicrobial structures adhering to the root canal surface that are formed by microorganisms invading the pulpal space of teeth, and are associated with persistent root canal infections. Concerted efforts to study root canal biofilms have been made in the past decade, resulting in the publication of observational and experimental studies that detail the morphology and biology of these structures in infected root canals. In addition to confirming that bacteria in root canals do not exist in free-floating planktonic states as previously assumed, this new information on root canal biofilm infections has provided an opportunity to re-evaluate conventional clinical protocols and improve endodontic therapeutic measures.

Download or read book The Efficacy of an Antimicrobial Peptide polymer Gel Preparation on Common Endodontic Pathogens written by Shreya Aggarwala and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Background: Reduction of the microbial load within the root canal system and intraradicular dentine to an acceptable level is crucial for successful endodontic therapy. Mechanical debridement significantly reduces the bacterial load, however, the adjunctive use of antimicrobial agents can further reduce the number of viable microorganisms. Currently used irrigants and medicaments have the potential to be cytotoxic by causing local tissue irritation or hypersensitivity. Antimicrobial peptides are polypeptides which can possess a broad-spectrum of antimicrobial activity providing a host defence system to combat infections whilst being minimally toxic to host cells. BM2 is a D-decameric cationic peptide. The antimicrobial potential of BM2 in a medium suitable for use as an intracanal medicament needs to be investigated. Aim: The aim of the present study was to assess the in vitro antimicrobial efficacy of BM2 in an injectable polymer gel matrix against common endodontic pathogens. Materials and Methods: Strains of Candida albicans, Streptococcus gordonii, Streptococcus mutans, and Enterococcus faecalis were grown from frozen glycerol stocks and confirmed. Dilutions of BM2 were prepared in aqueous solution and the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) determined using the broth microdilution assay. The minimum bactericidal/fungicidal concentration (MBC/MFC) was established by subculturing the broth dilution onto culture media. Poloxamer 407 (P407) gels, at 25% (w/v) were loaded with BM2 and the gel stability evaluated. The in vitro release profile of BM2 from the P407 formulations and the gel dissolution profile were obtained. The antimicrobial efficacy of BM2 in a P407 gel formulation was assessed on planktonic cell cultures and on 24 h monospecies biofilms using a crystal violet biofilm assay over 72 h. Comparisons were made between BM2 in aqueous solution, P407 gel alone, BM2 in P407 gel formulations, and saturated calcium hydroxide. Results: Aqueous BM2 at 128 æg/mL completely inhibited the growth of all four strains after 24 h exposure. S. mutans NG8 was the most susceptible (MIC 4 æg/mL, MBC 8 æg/mL) while E. faecalis JH2-2 was the least susceptible (MIC 64 æg/mL). P407 gels containing BM2 were prepared with no marked alteration to the stability of P407. BM2 release increased with time and demonstrated a linear correlation with P407 dissolution. BM2 retained its antimicrobial activity when incorporated into P407 gels exhibiting bacteriostatic activity. S. mutans NG8 was the most susceptible to P407 with BM2 (MIC 32 æg/mL) while E. faecalis JH2-2 was the most resistant (MIC>512 æg/mL). The MIC values of BM2 in P407 were 8-fold higher than those required for aqueous BM2 and although higher concentrations were required, it demonstrated more sustained effects on cell cultures over 72 h. BM2 incorporated into P407 gels gave dose-dependent growth impairment and significantly disrupted biofilm detachment at 512 æg/mL. Saturated calcium hydroxide inhibited growth of the S. mutans 24 h biofilm, slowed growth of S. gordonii and C. albicans biofilms, but was ineffective against the E. faecalis biofilm. Conclusions: BM2 in a P407 gel possesses antimicrobial activity against planktonic cultures and monospecies biofilms of C. albicans, S. gordonii, S. mutans and E. faecalis at concentrations 8-fold higher than that in solution. Antimicrobial activity was greater than saturated calcium hydroxide. Within the limitations of this study, BM2 in a polymer gel has demonstrated potential for use as an antimicrobial agent in the treatment of root canal infections.
