We simulate the effects of diagenesis, cementation and compaction on elastic properties shales sandstones with four different petro-elastical theories a basin-evolution model, based constant heating sedimentation rates. consider composed clay minerals, mainly smectite illite, depending burial depth, pore space is assumed to be saturated water at hydrostatic conditions. Diagenesis in shale (smec...

objective: this experimental in vitro study compared marginal adaptation of indirect composite, glass-ceramic inlays and direct composite. materials and methods: seventy-five recently extracted human molars were randomly divided into three groups (n=25) and mesio-occluso-distal cavities with the same dimensions were prepared in the teeth. indirect composite and glass-ceramic inlays were fabrica...

The relationship of stress generation upon placement of cement-retained or screw-retained implant restorations has not been thoroughly investigated. Passivity of fit and marginal discrepancies of screw- and cement-retained implant fixed partial denture (FPD) designs were determined using a photoelastic model of a partially edentulous posterior mandibular arch with 3 screw-type implants. Buccal ...

Early-diagenetic cementation of tropical carbonates results from the combination numerous physico-chemical and biological processes. In marine phreatic environment it represents an essential mechanism for development stabilization carbonate platforms. However, diagenetic cements that developed early in are likely to become obliterated during later stages meteoric or burial diagenesis. When lith...

At our institution giant cell tumors arising in all locations are treated with curettage, cryosurgery, and cementation to avoid resection or amputation, increase local tumor control over curettage alone, and avoid the morbidity associated with immobilization. We report the oncologic and functional results of 3 patients with giant cell tumors arising from the tubular bones of the hand who were t...

Zirconia has become one of the most popular materials in dentistry. New high-translucent zirconia ceramics have favorable optical properties and can be applied as monolithic full-contour restorations in various clinical indications for posterior and anterior teeth. However, having reliable cementation protocols is fundamental for clinical success of indirect ceramic dental restorations, includi...

PURPOSE To compare pressures generated by 2 different cement pressurisers at various locations in the proximal femur. METHODS Two groups of 5 synthetic femurs were used, and 6 pressure sensors were placed in the femur at 20-mm intervals proximally to distally. Cement was filled into the femoral canal retrogradely using a cement gun with either the half-moon pressuriser or the femoral canal pr...
