OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effect of optional phosphoric acid etching on the shear bond strength (SBS) of two self-etch adhesives to enamel and dentin. MATERIAL AND METHODS Ninety-six bovine mandibular incisors were ground flat to obtain enamel and dentin substrates. A two-step self-etch adhesive (FL-Bond II) and a one-step self-etch adhesive (BeautiBond) were applied with and without a prelim...

Background Bonding to silica-based ceramics requires micro mechanical (hydrofluoric-acid, HFetching) and chemical (silane) coupling [1–5]. The HF-etching provides dissolution of Abstract Statement of problem: The hydrofluoric acid (HF) is able to promote selective dissolution of the glassy phase in silica-based ceramic. However, the etching leaves insoluble silica-fluoride salts in the surface ...

Here, we investigated the effects of Zingiber mioga extracts (FSH-ZM) on moisturization and depigmentation skin as well wrinkle formation in UVB-irradiated HRM-2 hairless mice. The mice were divided into six groups follows: normal control (NC), (C), positive 1 (PC1, L-ascorbic acid 200 mg/kg b.w.), 2 (PC2, Arbutin Z100 (FSH-ZM 100 Z200 b.w.). experiment spanned a period 6 weeks. We found that F...

The purpose of this study was to compare shear bond strength values obtained in human enamel and dentin with the values obtained in bovine teeth using two adhesive systems with different actions. Forty human tooth half-crowns and forty bovine tooth crowns were flattened to a minimum plain area of 5 mm in diameter. The samples were divided in four groups of 20 specimens each: 1) human enamel; 2)...

Vascularized composite allotransplantation is a continuously evolving area of modern transplant medicine. Recently, vascularized composite allografts (VCAs) have been formally classified as 'organs'. In this review, key aspects of VCA procurement are discussed, with a special focus on interaction with the procurement of classical solid organs. In addition, options for a matching and allocation ...

composite pressure vessel cng made of epoxy – carbon material with nonmetal liner is 60% lighter than aluminum vessel under the same conditions. one of the important parameters in the pressure vessels design is their resistance against impact and prevention of explosion. in this paper, the effects of low velocity impact on composite pressure vessel are investigated using fe analysis. the vessel...
