BACKGROUND Molar bonding procedures need continuous improvement to be widely accepted clinically and eventually replace molar bands. MATERIAL AND METHODS The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of enamel micro-abrasion and silane coating of the base of molar tubes on shear and tensile bond strengths of orthodontic molar tubes. A total of 200 third molars were randomly allocated...

OBJECTIVES To evaluate the effect of different silane agents and air-drying temperatures on bond strength of translucent quartz fibre posts to composite resin. METHODS The post surface was etched with 10 vol% hydrogen peroxide for 20 min. A two-liquid coupling agent containing 4-methacryolxyethyl trimellitate anhydride (4-META) and gamma-trimethoxysilyil propyl methacrylate (gamma-MPTS) and t...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of ceramic surface treatments and silane drying temperature on the microtensile bond strength (µTBS) of a resin composite to a lithium disilicate ceramic. Twenty blocks (7x7x5 mm) of lithium disilicate-based hot-pressed ceramic were fabricated and randomly divided into 4 groups: G1: acid etching with 9.5% hydrofluoric acid for 20 s and drying ...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effect of five experimental silane monomer primers in vitro on the shear bond strength of a phosphate ester resin-composite cement bonded to a silicatized zirconia framework. METHODS A total of 144 planar zirconia (Procera AllZircon) specimens were subjected to tribochemical silica treatment, randomly divided into 12 sub-groups (n=12), and silanized with 1.0%(v/v) ac...

Lactols and cyclic hemiaminals were directly used in a one-pot organo/organo dual catalytic system induced [2+2+2] tandem reaction for the asymmetric construction of six-membered carbocycles. The enamine-based stereoselective Michael addition of lactols or cyclic hemiaminals to electron-deficient olefinic oxindole motifs provided chiral C4 components, which were further combined with triethylam...

in this research, effects of concentration and time of silane treatment of rice straw flour on the morphology and mechanical strengths of rice straw flour/polypropylene composites were investigated. tri ethoxy vinyl silane (c8h18o3si) with 98% purity in two concentrations of 5 and 10%, that each concentration had two immersion times including, 45 and 90 min for using treatment rice straw flour....

Novel organo-Eu(III) luminophores, Eu(hfa)x(CPO)y and Eu(hfa)x(TCPO)y (hfa: hexafluoroacetylacetonate, CPO: 4-carboxyphenyl diphenyl phosphine oxide, TCPO: 4,4',4″-tricarboxyphenyl phosphine oxide), were synthesized by the complexation of Eu(III) ions with hfa moieties and CPO or TCPO ligands. The thermal and luminescent stabilities of the luminophores are extremely high. The decomposition temp...
