01/01/2015 - "Herein we present a novel approach to the treatment of peri-implantitis that incorporates the use of a topical desiccant (HYBENX), along with air powder abrasives as a means of decontamination, followed by the application of biphasic calcium sulfate combined with inorganic bovine bone material to augment the intrabony defect. "
10/01/2020 - "To compare the efficacy of two different therapies (amino acid glycine abrasive powder and a desiccant material) and their combination in the non-surgical treatment of peri-implantitis. "

10/01/2021 - "The three humectants varied in their ability to retain water during the dehydration process. "
06/01/2021 - "Greenhouse-grown plants were subjected to two types of drought treatment, water stress (WS) and desiccant-induced water stress (DA), timed to occur at pre- and post-anthesis. "
08/01/2020 - "With no negative effects on yield, spraying the desiccant increased the total dehydration rate, shortened the time from flowering to physiological maturity, and increased the time from physiological maturity to harvest, which was beneficial to the further reduction of grain moisture in the later stage. "
08/01/2020 - "The dehydration rate of grains after spraying the desiccants was significantly positively correlated with the rate of dehydration of stems and sheaths. "
08/01/2020 - "We explored the effects of spraying the desiccant on the dehydration process, grain moisture, and grain quality of summer maize hybrids differing in maturity. "

02/01/2023 - "However, applying desiccant gel as an adjunct to SRP was significantly effective in the treatment of stage III periodontitis."
02/01/2023 - "The effects of adjunctive use of a desiccant agent in the treatment of stage III periodontitis (Randomized controlled clinical trial)."
02/01/2023 - "The main objective of this study was to compare the efficacy of the desiccant agent HYBENX (HBX) as an adjunct to scaling and root planning (SRPX) versus scaling and root planning (SRP) alone in the treatment of periodontitis. "
06/26/2023 - "This randomized, split-mouth, controlled clinical study assessed the additional clinical benefits of a local desiccant antimicrobial agent (HY) combined with subgingival mechanical instrumentation (SRP) vs. SRP alone in treating severe periodontitis. "

11/11/2010 - "(Scrophulariaceae) species are used to treat eczema and other types of inflammatory skin conditions and as a desiccant for wounds in Turkish traditional medicine. "
06/01/2016 - "The study moisturizer containing the occlusive ingredients of dimethicone and shea butter oil; the humectant ingredients of glycerin, vitamin B, sodium PCA, and sodium hyaluronate; the barrier repair ingredients of ceramide 3, cholesterol, phytosphingosine, ceramide 6 II, and ceramide 1; and the botanical anti-inflammatories allantoin and bisabolol were helpful in reducing the signs and symptoms of mild-to-moderate eczema."

03/01/2018 - "Compared to SRP alone, SRP plus desiccant yielded a significant improvement in probing depth (PD) (SRP: 2.23 ± 0.31 mm vs. desiccant: 3.25 ± 0.57 mm, p < 0.05), CAL (SRP: 3.16 ± 0.29 mm vs. desiccant: 4.21 ± 0.34 mm, p < 0.05 mm) and bleeding on probing (BOP) (SRP: 4.56 ± 1.5% vs. desiccant: 34.23 ± 4.2%, p < 0.001) at 12 months. "
11/01/2007 - "Eight cases of dengue were analyzed during pregnancy, three cases of fever dengue and five cases of hemorrhagic dengue; main complications detected were threat of abortion, and premature labour, postsurgical bleeding with desiccant haematoma of uterine artery, oligohydramnios, as well as pleural effusion, two of the neonates were classified as septic for presenting fever.
