A terpolymer resin derived from Resorcinol, Formaldehyde and Salicylic acid was synthesized through condensation reaction. Transition metal ions namely Mn(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), and Zn(II) were incorporated into the resin forming polymer-metal complexes. Both the resin and the complexes were characterized by FTIR, UV–Vis., XRD, 1H NMR, TGA and SEM/EDX. Elemental analysis was carried out […]
The present study aimed to evaluate the antibacterial efficacy of bioceramic root canal sealer modified with herbal extracts, because there are insufficient scientific reports that indicate the antibacterial effects of herbal extracts added to endodontic root canal sealers. The essential oils of the aerial parts of Thymus Kotschyanus Boiss were obtained by hydrodistillation (HD) method […]
