The lab instructions provided five components of cinnamon oil, of which one is the major component of clove oil. Of these five chemicals, only one, eugenol, has a phenol functional group. Because the IR spectrum of the distilled clove essential oil had a weak, broad peak around 3200 to 3500 cm-1, which corresponds to the hydroxyl/phenol functional group, there is evidence that eugenol is the major component of clove oil. Furthermore, since the IR spectra for the other four given chemicals would…
thin-layer chromatography plate (Setzer, W., 2008). The remaining four-fifths were put back into the separatory funnel to be extracted three times with 5% NaOH in order to deprotonate the solution, which converts it into a salt. Since eugenol is slightly acidic, it can be deprotonated with NaOH. The other components are not acidic and will remain soluble in dichloromethane since they will not deprotonate. The aqueous layers were washed once more with dichloromethane to make the solution consist…
S. aureus, (100 mg/ml). The comparison of the three extracts of clove oil shows that the hexane extract of clove oil has the highest zone of inhibition with the least concentration. This experiment indicates that the major chemical compound of S.aromaticum, Eugenol, shows…
whether the dentist utilizes calcium hydroxide or mineral trioxide aggregate, glass ionomer (GI) or resin-modified glass ionomer (RMGI) must be used over the pulp capping agent as a liner. Calcium hydroxide needs a liner in order for the liner to compensate for the loss of antibacterial seal. In the case of the MTA, the liner is needed to protect the MTA during restoration due to its delayed setting time. c. Zinc Oxide Eugenol: Zinc oxide eugenol is used widely in dentistry as base, liner,…
Vertical root fracture is the one of the most critical complications of endodontically treated teeth which can take place before, during or after root canal filling and can end up with tooth loss (1, 2,3). Exaggerated loss of tooth structure due to trauma and caries, dehydration of dentin (4), access cavity preparation, mechanical preparation (5) and irrigation (6) of the root canal, and post space preparation are critical factors that would influence the durability and strength of root canal…

chemopreventive agents because they induce phase II enzymes, such as glutathione stransferase, which is involved in the detoxification of xenobiotics. In addition, it has been reported that most phenolics exhibit an important pro-oxidant effect, especially when tissue injury causes the release of free iron or copper Yang, et al., (2001). Intriguingly, the fortified bread with different levels of Lemon balm powder resulted in a lower serum AST, ALT, Uric acid, creatinine and urea nitrogen…
