The purpose of this research was to identify the changes in tests assessing speed-explosiveness abilities after a completed proprioceptive training programme. The research included 75 physically active men divided into the experimental (n = 37) and the control (n = 38) group. The first group underwent the proprioceptive training programme lasting ten weeks (60 minutes three times a week). The t...

INTRODUCTION The aims of this research were to use high-performance liquid chromatography to assess the bisphenol A (BPA) released from an orthodontic adhesive (Transbond XT; 3M Unitek, Monrovia, Calif) with various light-curing tip distances and to correlate the release to the degree of conversion. METHODS One hundred thirty-eight premolar brackets were divided into 3 groups of 40 each for t...
