The aim of this study was to evaluate the maximum penetration depth (MPD) and penetration area (PA) of CaOH2 paste agitated by different methods and to measure the pH after performing these methods. Fifty‐five mandibular premolars were divided into control, GL and 4 experimental groups, GEC, GXP, GEDDY and GI (n = 11), where the paste was agitated with Easy Clean, XP‐endo Finisher, EDDY and Irrisonic, respectively. The canals were instrumented and irrigated with NaOCl. The paste was manipulated with propylene glycol and rhodamine B dye. Root sections were examined using confocal laser scanning microscopy. There was no difference between groups regarding PA (p > 0.05). At 5 mm, MPD was greater in GEC than in GL or GEDDY, and greater in GI than in GL (p < 0.05). At 2 mm, MPD was greater in GEC than in the other groups (p < 0.05). In conclusion, both Easy Clean and Irrisonic promoted deeper paste penetration and were associated with higher pH levels.
Behçet's Syndrome (BS) is a multisystem inflammatory disease with mucosal involvement. Its cause is unknown and there is no specific test for the diagnosis of the disease. Lesions in the oral mucosa are usually the first signs that the disease manifests, so it is extremely important for Dental Surgeons to be aware of this syndrome. We report here the case of a patient with Behçet Syndrome, who recently presented oral ulcers characteristic of the disease, with the aim of emphasizing oral lesions to assist in the early diagnosis of the disease through Dental Surgeons.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
