Abstract

To compare in vitro the sealing ability of root-end fillings with mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) and EndoSequence BioCeramic Root Repair Material-Fast Set (BC-RRM) Putty using a novel bacterial nutrient leakage model, which provides information on whether or not intracanal bacteria are receiving nutrients from serum via leakage channels. Sixty single-rooted decoronated mandibular incisors with instrumented root canals were subjected to root-end resection and ultrasonic preparation. The root specimens were mounted in the experimental apparatus, and the root-end cavities filled with the test materials. The positive control group used warm Gutta-percha and no sealer. In the negative controls, the entire resected surface was covered with varnish. After sterilization in ethylene oxide, the root canal was inoculated with 1.5 × 10(5) washed cells of Enterococcus faecalis. The apparatus was filled with foetal bovine serum, leaving only the apical root immersed. After 30-day incubation, samples were taken from the canal, cultured and the colony-forming units (CFUs) counted. Statistical analysis was performed using the Mann-Whitney test for quantitative and the Fisher exact test for qualitative data. In the MTA group, 10 of 20 (50%) sp...Continue Reading

Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia

Autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA) occurs when antibodies directed against the person's own red blood cells (RBCs) cause them to burst (lyse), leading to an insufficient number of oxygen-carrying red blood cells in the circulation. Discover the latest research on AIHA here.
