Disease relevance of Ledermix

 

High impact information on Ledermix

  • Although none of the materials completely eliminated the viable microorganisms, the use of LE was more effective than CE in reducing the total anaerobic microorganisms associated with carious dentine [4].
  • The study was aimed at comparing the efficacy of disinfection of root canals with periapical radiolucencies when treated with either antibiotics/steroid medicaments (Ledermix or Septomixine) or a calcium hydroxide paste (Calasept) [5].
  • The effect of intracanal Ledermix on root resorption of delayed-replanted monkey teeth [6].
  • More severe staining was noted when Ledermix paste filled the pulp chamber than when the paste was restricted to below the CEJ [7].
  • After six weeks, there was significant lymphocyte infiltration in only 30% of teeth treated with tetrandrine, compared with 66%, 90%, and 100% on teeth treated with Ledermix, formocresol, and saline controls respectively [8].
 

Chemical compound and disease context of Ledermix

 

Biological context of Ledermix

  • The efficacy of Ledermix paste in disinfection of dentinal tubules was studied in a model developed by Haapasalo and Orstavik with some modifications [3].
  • Ledermix was found to reversibly inhibit mitosis while present in the concentrations range 10(-3) to 10(-6) mg/ml [2].
 

Anatomical context of Ledermix

  • Ledermix killed mouse fibroblasts at 10(-3) mg/ml and above, while Pulpdent killed at 1 mg/ml and above [2].
  • Freshly extracted human single-rooted teeth with a single root canal were used to study the effects of 2 irrigation regimens and the effect of cementum on the diffusion of corticosteroid and antibiotic tracer molecules from Ledermix paste placed in the pulp space [10].
  • Crowns from freshly extracted human third molar teeth were used to quantify the release and diffusion of corticosteroid and antibiotic tracer molecules from Ledermix paste used as an indirect pulp-capping agent [11].
  • Long-term clinical assessment of pulpotomies with calcium hydroxide containing Ledermix in human permanent premolars and molars [12].
 

Associations of Ledermix with other chemical compounds

  • Eugenol showed a pH of 4.34 +/- 0.05, formocresol 2.79 +/- 0.02, and a commercially-available antibiotic-corticosteroid paste (Ledermix) 8.13 +/- 0.01 [13].
 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Ledermix

  • Nevertheless, when the latter two unfavorable healing patterns were combined, there was a significantly lower overall unfavorable healing in the Ledermix group (64.54%) when compared to the positive control group (83.43%) (P = 0.037) [6].
  • For the experimental group, intracanal Ledermix was placed prior to extraction and replantation after 1-h bench dry [6].
  • Ledermix did not perform better than no premedication [14].
