The main aim of this study was to assess the clinic atmosphere quality regarding Index Air Microbial contamination (IMA), according dental aerosols bacterial counts, when different dentistry procedures are performed. generated by and endodontic were analyzed in 26 units clinic. Blood agar plates (n = 244) incubated at 37 °C/48 h colony forming (CFU) calculated. All statistical analysis methods conducted using SPSS® vs.17.0 software (SPSS Inc., IL, Chicago, USA), α 0.05 for comparison tests...
To quantify bacterial equivalents before and after chemomechanical preparation using 3% sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) intracanal dressing with calcium hydroxide paste (Ca(OH)2 ) or 2% Chlorhexidine digluconate gel (CHX) in necrotic pulps associated not apical periodontitis to further compare this quantification counts of anaerobic microorganisms.Prospective clinical trial 69 single-rooted adult teeth (strict inclusion criteria); CHX group: 34; Ca(OH)2 35. Bacteria samples were taken at...

Assessment of bacterial reduction after chemo-mechanical preparation (using 3% sodium hypochlorite) with or without intracanal dressing (calcium hydroxide paste (Ca(OH)2) 2% chlorhexidine digluconate gel (CHX)) in necrotic pulps associated not apical lesion. Prospective clinical trial, 69 adult patient's teeth pulpal necrosis periodontitis. Microbiological root-canal-sampling occurred before treatment (S1), (S2) and 14 days (S3). Colony Forming Units (CFU) were counted growth aerobic,...
