A Comparative Evaluation Of Endodontic Irrigation Methods For Removal Of The Smear Layer, Ramzi Walid Alhashimi Jan 2016

A Comparative Evaluation Of Endodontic Irrigation Methods For Removal Of The Smear Layer, Ramzi Walid Alhashimi

Student Theses, Dissertations and Capstones

The purpose of this in vitro study is to compare the effect of various irrigation systems on smear layer removal in curved root canals. Root canal irrigation plays an important role in the debridement and disinfection of the root canal system. It has been well documented that the flushing component of the irrigants is as important as the tissue dissolving capability. Therefore, the efficacy of the irrigant might also be influenced by the method by which it is introduced. Fifty-one recently extracted molar teeth with root curvatures of more than 30° were selected according to Schneider's method. The teeth were …

Effect Of Ph And Recharge Protocol On Fluoride Release From Orthodontic Band Adhesives, Erica Kader Jan 2016

Effect Of Ph And Recharge Protocol On Fluoride Release From Orthodontic Band Adhesives, Erica Kader

Student Theses, Dissertations and Capstones

Objective: This study evaluated the release of fluoride from orthodontic band adhesives before and after exposure to fluoride varnish (FV), MI Paste (MIP), MI Paste Plus (MIPP), or no application, in neutral and acidic solutions. Background: White spot lesions (WSLs) occur in 73% of orthodontic patients. WSLs occur as a result of plaque accumulation, which leads to increased acidity of the oral cavity and subsequent enamel demineralization. Topical fluoride is frequently used as therapy for WSLs, in the form of toothpaste, mouth-rinse and varnish. In an effort to reduce demineralization around fixed appliances, fluoride-releasing adhesives have been employed, including glass …

Interprofessional Collaboration Between Dental Hygienists And Registered Nurses: The Time Is Overdue, Jacqueline E. Sharpe, Muge Akpinar-Elci Jan 2016

Interprofessional Collaboration Between Dental Hygienists And Registered Nurses: The Time Is Overdue, Jacqueline E. Sharpe, Muge Akpinar-Elci

Center for Global Health Publications

The recent publication of an article that is listed as a Critical Issue in the Journal of Dental Hygiene deserves strong letters of endorsement from nursing professionals. It has been twelve years since the Institute of Medicine called for interprofessional education to be adopted by the health professional education community. The increasing numbers of dentists in dental programs and the decreasing numbers of physicians in medical programs lend itself for dentists and physicians to be supportive of such interprofessional collaborations.
