The purpose of this in-vitro study was to compare the sealing ability of calcium enriched mixture (CEM) cement versus amalgam as root-end filling materials. Methods: A total of 36 canals of extracted maxillary central incisors were instrumented and obturated using lateral compaction technique. The apical 3 mm of each root was resected and root-end prepared to a depth of 3mm.The teeth were randomly divided into two experimental groups of 15 teeth according to tested materials (Amalgam, CEM cement) and two negative and positive control groups of 3 teeth. Root- end cavities were restored with amalgam (group 1) or CEM (group 2). Sealing ability was evaluated by dye penetration method using Pelikan ink, and a stereomicroscope at x10 magnifications and 0.01 mm accuracy. Data were analyzed by T-test and PResults: The mean linear dye microleakage for CEM cement and amalgam retrofilled groups were 2.08 and 3.77 mm, respectively. There was a statistically significant difference between the two groups (p<0.0001). Conclusion:  under the condition of this in vitro study, CEM cement provides a better seal than amalgam when used as a retrograde filling material.       }, keywords = {Sealing ability,Amalgam,CEM,Retrofilled}, url = {https://jdmt.mums.ac.ir/article_11579.html}, eprint = {https://jdmt.mums.ac.ir/article_11579_d4b6814697dd243bc065f34db837b681.pdf} } @article { author = {Sarraf Shirazi, Alireza and Kinoshita, Jun-Ichiro and Manabe, Atsufumi and Kobayashi, Mikihiro and Jafarzadeh, Hamid}, title = {The Most-cited Articles in Dentistry Up to 2017}, journal = {Journal of Dental Materials and Techniques}, volume = {7}, number = {4}, pages = {156-166}, year = {2018}, publisher = {Mashhad University of Medical Sciences}, issn = {2322-4150}, eissn = {2252-0317}, doi = {10.22038/jdmt.2018.11578}, abstract = {Introduction: Citation analysis is a suitable way to help us to identify research trends within a specific topic.

Methods: The antimicrobial efficacy of three sealers(NZOE, AH26 and Pulpdent)  against Enterococcus faecalis (ATCC 29212), Escherichia coli (ATCC 25922), Streptococcus mutans (ATCC700610), Candida albicans (ATCC 90028), and Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 25923)  were evaluated by Direct Contact Test (DCT) at five  different time intervals 0, 2, 14, 48 hours and 7 days. The results were statistically analyzed using SPSS software and Kruskal–Wallis at 5% significance level. Results: All three tested sealers had antimicrobial activity against microorganisms involved in this study. Fresh NZOE sealer eliminated all microorganisms tested, except the strain of E. faecalis colony which was reached to zero after 2 hours. However, AH26 and Pulpdent failed to completely kill all of the E. faecalis colony during the entire observation period. Also, NZOE showed a significant antimicrobial action (P<0.05) in comparison with other two sealers by effectively eliminating the Candida albicans colonies at zero time and 7 days. Conclusion: Highest antimicrobial effect of NZOE sealer was shown followed by Pulpdent sealer and AH 26 against Candida albicans and Enterococcus faecalis.    }, keywords = {AH26,Antimicrobial,Direct-contact test,Nano Zinc Oxide,Pulpdent}, url = {https://jdmt.mums.ac.ir/article_11586.html}, eprint = {https://jdmt.mums.ac.ir/article_11586_a171620b5e74e51b7d8334a0f939bfad.pdf} } @article { author = {Rashidi Maybodi, Fahimeh and Hafizi Barjin, Elaheh and Akhavan Karbassi, Mohammad-Hassan}, title = {Knowledge of General Dentists and Senior Dental Students about Indications of Antibiotic Prophylaxis in Yazd, Iran}, journal = {Journal of Dental Materials and Techniques}, volume = {7}, number = {4}, pages = {174-180}, year = {2018}, publisher = {Mashhad University of Medical Sciences}, issn = {2322-4150}, eissn = {2252-0317}, doi = {10.22038/jdmt.2018.11580}, abstract = {Introduction: In patients susceptible to infection, after dental procedures which lead to soft tissue manipulation or bleeding, the occurrence of bacteremia is probable.

The present case is a 62-year-old man with facial asymmetry and pain in his left upper jaw.

Computed tomography showed a hyper dense mass in the left maxilla extending to maxillary sinus. The diagnosis of OS was confirmed by histopathologic evaluation.

Results: This article is about patients with lip leishmaniasis with oral-mucosal involvement, clinical features were diffuse lip swelling and ulcer in right lower lip vermilion and buccal mucosa. A smear was caught which proved the diagnosis of leishmaniasis. Thereafter, the patients were referred to a dermatologist for treatment and follow up showed complete healing of the lesions. Conclusion: Oral mucosal leishmaniasis is rare. However, the swelling may cause different complications like loss of teeth or respiratory obstruction.
