Surface tension of several drugs used in endodontics.

Surface tension of various drugs used in endodontic therapy was studied by the capillary method. Drugs of the phenol group--eugenol, paramonochlorophenol, tricresol-formalin and phenol--presented very low surface tension. The association of a detergent to the solution of calcium hydroxide reduced its surface tension by half.

["In vitro" evaluation of the action of various cavity varnishes].

The authors studied in vitro the capacity of FORP-USP cavity varnishes, COPALAINE (Prodonto), COPALITE (H. J. Bosworth Co.), CAVITINE (SS WHITE) and UNIVERSAL (SS WHITE) to promote impermeabilization. The tests were done by the use of filter paper and the impermeabilization was measured by the Rhodamine B stain infiltration. The FORP-USP cavity varnishes Copalaine and Copalite were more effective in promoting impermeabilization.
