Leiendecker A, Qi Y, Sawyer A, Niu L, Agee K, Loushine R, et al.
J Endod . 2012 May; 38(6):829-33. PMID: 22595120
Introduction: Calcium silicate-based materials (CSMs) are used in various endodontic procedures. The present study examined whether prolonged contact of mineralized dentin with recently commercialized versions of these materials adversely affects...

Sawyer A, Nikonov S, Pancio A, Niu L, Agee K, Loushine R, et al.
J Endod . 2012 Apr; 38(5):680-3. PMID: 22515902
Introduction: Prolonged exposure of root dentin to calcium hydroxide alters the fracture resistance of dentin. Calcium silicate-based materials (CSMs) used in endodontics release calcium hydroxide on setting. This study examined...

Gillen B, Looney S, Gu L, Loushine B, Weller R, Loushine R, et al.
J Endod . 2011 Jun; 37(7):895-902. PMID: 21689541
Introduction: Thorough cleaning and shaping of root canals are essential for periapical healing. Restoration of endodontically treated teeth is also required for them to function and prevent coronal leakage. This...

Loushine B, Bryan T, Looney S, Gillen B, Loushine R, Weller R, et al.
J Endod . 2011 Apr; 37(5):673-7. PMID: 21496669
Introduction: This study investigated the setting time and micohardness of a premixed calcium phosphate silicate-based sealer (EndoSequence BC Sealer; Brasseler USA, Savannah, GA) in the presence of different moisture contents...

Pinna L, Loushine R, Bishop Jr F, Cotti E, Weller R, Pashley D, et al.
Am J Dent . 2010 Mar; 22(5):299-303. PMID: 20225474
Purpose: To test if the hybrid layer formation by Hybrid Root SEAL (Sun Medical Co.), a 4-META-containing auto-adhesive self-etching root canal sealer, is affected by the sequence of irrigants employed...

Zhang K, Kim Y, Cadenaro M, Bryan T, Sidow S, Loushine R, et al.
J Endod . 2009 Dec; 36(1):105-9. PMID: 20003945
Introduction: This study tested the null hypothesis that there is no difference between the use of 1.3% NaOCl/17% ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) and 5.25% NaOCl/17% EDTA irrigation regimens on the collagen...

Kim Y, Mai S, Haycock J, Kim S, Loushine R, Pashley D, et al.
J Endod . 2009 Sep; 35(9):1264-9. PMID: 19720228
Introduction: This study evaluated the true self-etching potential of RealSeal and RealSeal SE to ensure that they are aggressive enough to etch through endodontic smear layers and demineralize the intact...

Babb B, Loushine R, Bryan T, Ames J, Causey M, Kim J, et al.
J Endod . 2009 Apr; 35(4):578-82. PMID: 19345809
The latest generation of methacrylate resin-based sealers has eliminated the use of separate self-etching primers by incorporating acidic resin monomers in the sealers to render them self-adhesive to dentin. This...

J Endod . 2009 Mar; 35(3):422-5. PMID: 19249609
Spinal cord stimulation has been a therapeutic option for chronic pain for over 40 years. The neurostimulator (NS) is a device consisting of three primary components: an electrode array configured...

J Endod . 2009 Jan; 35(2):225-8. PMID: 19166778
The cytotoxicity of four methacrylate resin-based sealers was investigated by the 3-(4,5-dimethyl-thiazoyl)-2,5-diphenyl-tetrazolium bromide assay, which measures cell viability by assessing its succinate dehydrogenase activity. The sealers were polymerized in the...
