Differential adhesion of Streptococcus gordonii to anatase and rutile titanium dioxide surfaces with and without functionalization with chlorhexidine.

13 Sep 2009 The majority of dental implants are composed primarily of titanium and have an outer layer of titanium dioxide. Crystalline titanium dioxide most commonly exists in one of the two structures, anatase and rutile, and both of these have been observed ... Read more...

Antibacterial effect of experimental chlorhexidine-releasing polymethyl methacrylate-based root canal sealers.

30 Aug 2009 INTRODUCTION: This study evaluated the extent of chlorhexidine release from experimental chlorhexidine-containing polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA)-based root canal sealers prepared from a methacrylate-based sealer (SuperBond Sealer, Sun Medical Co ... Read more...

Taste coding after selective inhibition by chlorhexidine.

22 Aug 2009 Coding of the complex tastes of ionic stimuli in humans was studied by combining taste confusion matrix (TCM) methodology and treatment with chlorhexidine gluconate. The TCM evaluates discrimination of multiple stimuli simultaneously. Chlorhexidine, ... Read more...
