Journal ArticleDOI
Microorganisms from canals of root-filled teeth with periapical lesions.
Ericka Tavares Pinheiro,Brenda Paula Figueiredo de Almeida Gomes,Caio Cezar Randi Ferraz,Ezilmara L.R. Sousa,Fabricio B. Teixeira,Francisco José de Souza-Filho +5 more
TL;DR: The microbial flora in canals after failure of root-canal treatment were limited to a small number of predominantly Gram-positive microbial species, however, polymicrobial infections and obligate anaerobes were frequently found in canal of symptomatic root-filled teeth.
Journal ArticleDOI
In vitro antimicrobial activity of several concentrations of sodium hypochlorite and chlorhexidine gluconate in the elimination of Enterococcus faecalis
Brenda Paula Figueiredo de Almeida Gomes,Caio Cezar Randi Ferraz,Morgana E. Vianna,V. B. Berber,Fabricio B. Teixeira,Francisco José de Souza-Filho +5 more
TL;DR: Even though all tested irrigants possessed antibacterial activity, the time required to eliminate E. faecalis depended on the concentration and type of irrigant used.
Journal ArticleDOI
Microbiological examination of infected dental root canals
Brenda Paula Figueiredo de Almeida Gomes,Ericka Tavares Pinheiro,Cícero Romão Gadê-Neto,Ezilmara L.R. Sousa,Caio Cezar Randi Ferraz,Alexandre Augusto Zaia,Fabricio B. Teixeira,Francisco José de Souza-Filho +7 more
TL;DR: Investigation of the root canal microbiota of primary and secondary root-infected canals and the association of constituent species with specific endodontic signs and symptoms indicates potential complex interactions of species resulting in characteristic clinical pictures which cannot be achieved by individual species alone.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effectiveness of 2% chlorhexidine gel and calcium hydroxide against Enterococcus faecalis in bovine root dentine in vitro.
Brenda Paula Figueiredo de Almeida Gomes,Soraia de Fátima Carvalho Souza,Caio Cezar Randi Ferraz,Fabricio B. Teixeira,Alexandre Augusto Zaia,L. Valdrighi,Francisco José de Souza-Filho +6 more
TL;DR: It can be concluded that 2% chlorhexidine gel alone was more effective against E. faecalis than calcium hydroxide (P < 0.05), however, its antibacterial activity depended on how long it remained inside the root canal.
Journal ArticleDOI
In vitro antimicrobial activity of propolis and Arnica montana against oral pathogens.
Hyun Koo,Brenda Paula Figueiredo de Almeida Gomes,Pedro Luiz Rosalen,Gláucia Maria Bovi Ambrosano,Yong K. Park,Jaime Aparecido Cury +5 more
TL;DR: The propolis extract showed in vitro antibacterial activity, inhibition of cell adherence and inhibition of water-insoluble glucan formation, while the Arnica extract was only slightly active in those three conditions.
