Summary: This study demonstrates the antimicrobial efficacy of a hydroalcoholic blend of Salvia officinalis and Glycyrrhiza glabra extracts against Enterococcus spp. biofilms formed during endodontic treatments. The combination of these extracts shows promise as an alternative antimicrobial strategy for addressing Enterococcus spp. in clinical applications.

Summary: The study found that adaptation of Klebsiella pneumoniae, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella oxytoca, and Enterobacter cloacae to antiseptic selective pressure may result in decreased susceptibility to chlorhexidine (CHX) and colistin (COL), but no significant impact on octenidine (OCT) efficacy. Whole genome sequencing revealed efflux pumps or lipopolysaccharide biosynthesis as the main mechanisms of adaptation.

Summary: The study focused on the ex vivo effects of second- and third-generation LPPOs on Enterococcus faecalis in root canal samples, comparing them with other disinfectants. Results showed that LPPOs demonstrated superior bactericidal effects compared to the tested disinfectants by reducing planktonic bacterial cells and inhibiting biofilm formation.

Summary: In this study, sage-coated zinc-doped hydroxyapatite was incorporated into a dextran matrix for investigation of its physico-chemical and antimicrobial activities. The stability and characteristic diffraction peak of the nanocomposite suspension were evaluated. The morphology, chemical composition, functional groups, antimicrobial activity, and biocompatibility of the 7ZnHAp-SD were examined. The preliminary results suggested that these nanoparticles could be potential candidates for biomedical/antimicrobial applications.

Summary: This study successfully developed positively charged silver nanocomplex as a nanocarrier for chlorhexidine (CHX) and demonstrated improved antibacterial activity. The positively charged silver nanocomplex loaded with CHX showed a constant release of the drug and a more effective antibacterial effect against Enterococcus faecalis compared to CHX or silver nanoparticles alone. This nanocomplex has potential clinical applications as a root canal disinfectant for bacterial infections.

Summary: This study investigated the role of ion channels/transporters and volatile anesthetics in biofilm formation by E. faecalis. The chloride transporter mutant showed reduced biofilm formation compared to the parental strain, while isoflurane exposure enhanced biofilm formation. These findings provide a better understanding of the underlying mechanisms of E. faecalis biofilm formation and highlight the potential impact of ion transporters and volatile anesthetics on this process.

Summary: This study evaluated the aromatic waters of rosemary, sage, and cypress and found that they have antimycotic and cytotoxic effects. The exhaustive analysis techniques used in this study provided valuable insights into the metabolite fingerprint differences of these commercial products. The results suggest that these hydrosols could be a significant source of phytochemicals with pharmacological potential.

Summary: Research on obtaining antioxidants through advanced separation methods using supercritical CO2 explored the relationship between molecular structure and antioxidant activity through a QSAR model. The study found that rosmarinic acid was completely retained in the precipitation vessel, while chlorogenic acid and caffeic acid were predominantly present in the same vessel.

Summary: This study isolated and developed a collection of Enterococcus phages that can infect both E faecalis and E. faecium. It was found that combining phages into cocktails often prevented the growth of phage-resistant mutants. Genomic characterization showed consistent mutations in exopolysaccharide synthesis genes when resistant mutants emerged. These findings inform efforts to improve efficacy against Enterococcus isolates and reduce the emergence of resistance.

Summary: Tea tree essential oil (TTO) is known for its traditional medicinal uses and earlier research has shown its effectiveness in inhibiting oral microorganisms. This study found that TTO can destroy cell membrane, inhibit biofilm formation, and eliminate mature biofilms of E. faecalis, suggesting its potential as a novel antibacterial drug.

Summary: The study demonstrates that canine-derived Enterococcus faecalis and E. faecium strains adhere better to the duodenal mucosa of healthy beagles compared to chicken-derived strains, with canine E. faecalis showing the highest hydrophobicity levels. This suggests that both bacterial species and host origin may influence mucosal adhesion.

Summary: The study found significant differences in treatment choices for teeth with different sizes of periapical lesions among endodontists, postgraduate students, and general dental practitioners. All participants opted for extraction as the lesion size increased from 1 mm to 5 mm. There was a positive correlation between endodontic education level and retreatment decision-making.

Summary: The study found that different chelation solutions can increase the penetration depth of root canal sealers into dentinal tubules. The MA group had the highest penetration depth at the apical third, while the EDTA and HEBP groups had almost equal average depths in the middle and coronal thirds, with significantly higher penetration depth in the coronal thirds of root canals than in other sections. EndoSequence BC Sealer showed higher penetration depth than AH Plus and MTA Fillapex, although the differences were not statistically significant.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the compressive strength (CS), surface roughness, and microhardness of ProRoot MTA and Biodentine (BD) after adhesive application. The results showed that BD exhibited better results in terms of CS, while ProRoot MTA was more successful in terms of microhardness. Both BD and ProRoot MTA showed similar results in terms of surface roughness. Therefore, the interaction between cements and materials applied during coronal restoration should be considered for improving regenerative procedures.
