AIM To evaluate the Influence of pH change and water storage up to 90 days on the sealing ability of two resin-based root-filling materials. MATERIALS AND METHODS Forty-four human mandibular single-rooted teeth were instrumented and filled with gutta-percha/ AH Plus or Resilon/Epiphany SE (n=20 per group). Two teeth each were used as positive and negative controls. Specimens were set for 7 da...

AIMS Dental decay is a condition that affects both temporary and permanent dentitions. Prophylactic methods for dental decays consist of: dental sealing, use of fluorides, oral hygiene and healthy diet habits. This article focuses on the frequency, dental materials and techniques of dental sealing used for caries prophylaxis in the Cluj County. MATERIALS AND METHODS The study used a set of qu...

OBJECTIVES To investigate the effect of vacuum sealing drainage in the patients with osteofascial compartment syndrome in comparison to conventional treatment. METHODS Fifty-two patients diagnosed with osteofascial compartment syndrome were enrolled in this study. They were randomly divided into two groups based on treatments: vacuum sealing drainage and conventional treatment. After operatio...

The process of sealing of damaged axons was examined in isolated strips of white matter from guinea pig spinal cord by recording the "compound membrane potential," using a sucrose-gap technique, and by examining uptake of horseradish peroxidase (HRP). Following axonal transection, exponential recovery of membrane potential occurred with a time constant of 20 +/- 5 min, at 37 degrees C, and extr...

BACKGROUND During embryonic development, epithelia with free edges must join together to create continuous tissues that seal the interior of the organism from the outside environment; failure of epithelial sealing underlies several common human birth defects. Sealing of epithelial sheets in embryos can be extremely rapid, dramatically exceeding the rate of adherens junction formation by epithel...

Newly available materials for retrograde obturation should have their sealing properties evaluated. The goal of this study was to evaluate the sealing ability of Endo CPM sealer, an MTA-based endodontic cement. Single-rooted extracted human teeth were endodontically treated. After apical sectioning, retrograde cavities were prepared. Teeth were divided into five experimental groups (n=12), in w...

Sealing treatment is a post-surface of the plasma spray coating process to improve corrosion resistance material. In this study, effect sealing on and adhesive strength spray-coated alumina coatings was analyzed. For sealing, an epoxy resin applied surface coated specimen using brush. The subjected salt test for up 48 hours microstructural analysis revealed that in layer/base material interface...
