This study aimed to assess the effect of post-cementation waiting time for core preparation of cemented cast posts and cores had on retention in the root canal, using two different luting materials. Sixty extracted human canines were sectioned 16 mm from the root apex. After cast nickel-chromium metal posts and cores were fabricated and luted with zinc phosphate (ZP) cement or resin cement (RC)...

Generally, trace precious metals remaining in wastewaters generated from the refining process of precious metals are not recovered, due to a relatively high processing cost as well as various technical problems. Recovery of precious metals from wastewaters is very important for the conservation of resources and the protection of environment. However, wastewaters containing a large amount of amm...

cementation factor is a critical parameter, which affects water saturation calculation. in carbonate rocks, due to the sensitivity of this parameter to pore type, water saturation estimation has associated with high inaccuracy. hence developing a reliable mathematical strategy to determine these properties accurately is of crucial importance. to this end, genetic algorithm pattern search is emp...

Faced with bans on advertising, the tobacco companies are looking to new, more subtle ways of maintaining their brands' profile in the public eye.

The complete seating of full coronal restorations during cementation is hindered by the inability of cement to flow from the internal surface of the crown, and possible binding of the crown on the tooth. Perforation venting is an effective technique to allow full seating but requires repair of the perforation. Provision of space between the crown and the tooth for cement flow is also an effecti...

Fixed partial denture is one of the most popular and commonly used treatment modality for replacement of missing teeth. It often involves preparation of vital abutments to support the retainers of the fixed partial denture. Full coverage restorations or retainers; involve preparation of all the tooth surfaces of the abutments. Post-cementation hypersensitivity in vital abutments is a common com...

the satellite battery pack is one of the important and vital parts that are required for conducting special design with multiple capabilities. some parameters like the minimum weight, lack of outgassing of parts, avoiding from short- circuit in batteries inside battery pack, the possibility for making series connection in batteries, and prevention from destroying battery pack structure caused b...

This report describes the use of laboratory-fabricated crown intaglio replicas for extraorally prepared cementation of fixed restorations to implants. This technique minimizes excess cement and may therefore reduce the risk of cement-related marginal peri-implant bone loss. It is unclear whether the remaining thin layer of luting agent provides sufficient retention if low-adhesive zinc oxide (Z...

A ZrSi2-SiC/SiC gradient coating system was designed to reduce the thermal stress of anti-oxidation coatings for C/C composites and prolong their time at a high temperature. The SiC transition layer prepared by pack cementation ZrSi2-SiC outer with different ZrSi2 contents added were deposited supersonic air plasma spraying (SAPS). micro-morphologies phase compositions studied SEM, EDS, XRD, TG...

This study aimed to assess the influence of the type of endodontic sealer (salicylate resin-based sealer vs. two endodontic sealers) and the time of fiber post cementation after root filling on the post adhesion to bovine root dentin. Sixty bovine roots were assigned to six groups (n=10), considering an experimental design with two factors (factorial 3x2): endodontic sealer factor in three leve...
