nickel and Smear Layer

nickel has been researched along with Smear Layer in 93 studies

Nickel: A trace element with the atomic symbol Ni, atomic number 28, and atomic weight 58.69. It is a cofactor of the enzyme UREASE.
nickel ion : A nickel atom having a net electric charge.
nickel atom : Chemical element (nickel group element atom) with atomic number 28.

Smear Layer: Adherent debris produced when cutting the enamel or dentin in cavity preparation. It is about 1 micron thick and its composition reflects the underlying dentin, although different quantities and qualities of smear layer can be produced by the various instrumentation techniques. Its function is presumed to be protective, as it lowers dentin permeability. However, it masks the underlying dentin and interferes with attempts to bond dental material to the dentin.

Trial Outcomes

Number of Participants With a PAI Score of < 3, = 3, or = 4 or 5

"The periapical index: A scoring system for radiographic assessment of apical periodontitis. Score of 1: Normal. Score of 2: Small changes in bone structure. Score of 3: Changes in bone structure with some mineral loss (bone loss). Score of 4: Periodontitis with well-defined radiolucent area (apical periodontitis). Score of 5: Severe Periodontitis with exacerbating features (apical periodontitis).~Healed is defined by absence of a radiographic indication of apical periodontitis (PAI <3) and absence of clinical signs and symptoms other than tenderness to percussion.~Healing is defined by a reduction of radiolucency (if radiolucency is present at Baseline) combined with the absence of clinical signs and symptoms other than tenderness to percussion."
