Objective: In search of an inter-appointment intracanal medication capable of promoting root canal disinfection while preserving the viability of periapical cells, this study synthesized and characterized chitosan-poloxamer hydrogels (CPH) containing phenolic acids and evaluated their effects on multispecies biofilms and cell viability for potential endodontic use. Methods: Cinnamic acid (CI), caffeic acid (CA)...

No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2016-08-18; This study evaluated the cytotoxicity and effect of fragments derived from three oral cationic peptides (CP): LL-37, D6-17 and D1-23 against cariogenic bacteria under planktonic and biofilm conditions. For cytotoxicity analysis, two epithelial cell lines were used. The minimum inhibitory concentration a...
