Aim: To assess the surface topography and chemical composition of three brands of as-received mini-implants (SIN®, Morelli®, and Conexao®). Methods: Twelve mini-implants of each brand were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive X-ray (EDX). Results: There was no significant differences among SIN®, Morelli®, and Conexao® mini-implants comparing their surface topography by...

In this work ZnO and Mn-doped ZnO nanocrystals were synthesized by one-step aqueous solution method. X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive x-ray (EDX) analysis and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy have been used to characterize the samples in detail. The XRD studies revealed that the ZnO and Mn-doped ZnO had wurtzite structure (hexagonal). The composi...

The mineral yuksporite (K,Ba)NaCa2(Si,Ti)4O11(F,OH)⋅H2O has been studied using the combination of SEM with EDX and vibrational spectroscopic techniques of Raman and infrared spectroscopy. Scanning electron microscopy shows a single pure phase with cleavage fragment up to 1.0 mm. Chemical analysis gave Si, Al, K, Na and Ti as the as major elements with small amounts of Mn, Ca, Fe and REE. Raman ...

In the frame of the European project NanoValid, potential candidates of reference nanomaterials are manufactured and systematically characterized in particular with respect to their morphology (shape, size and size distribution). In this study, by exploiting the transmission operation mode in a high-resolution SEM, known as transmission SEM, the potential of this methodical approach is demonstr...

Nano oxides of Manganese Nickel and Cobalt Nickel were synthesized by chemical coprecipitation method from the reaction of respective metal sulfides of manganese, nickel, cobalt and sodium carbonate using ethylene diamene tetra acetic acid as an effective capping agent. The carbonate precursors were heated at different temperatures so as to form their oxides. Through the X-ray line broadening t...

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to analyze morphological, chemical, and crystallographic changes of bone tissue after osteotomy performed with an erbium:yttrium-aluminium-garnet (Er:YAG) laser and a low speed pilot drill. MATERIALS AND METHODS Bone blocks were prepared from porcine ribs, and on each block, two tunnel preparations were performed using the Er:YAG laser (pulse energy: 10...

Magnetic data is useful in both hydrocarbon exploration and mining exploration. In hydrocarbon exploration, aeromagnetic data is an effective method for locating strike-slip faulting in magnetic basement. Also, high resolution surveys enhance delineation of both subtle basement features and intrasedimentary sources. In fact, magnetic methods has evolved from its sole use for mapping basement st...

Dendritic Ag/Au bimetallic nanostructures have been synthesized via a galvanic replacement reaction (GRR) of Ag dendrites in a chlorauric acid (HAuCl4) solution. After short periods of time, one obtains structures with protruding flakes; these will mature into very porous structures with little Ag left over. The morphological, compositional, and crystal structural changes involved with reaction...

The purpose of this study was to investigate the enamel remineralization potential of two toothpastes, one of which was based on Recaldent (CPP- ACP) and the other on NovaMin (Calcium-sodium-phosphosilicate). Human permanent molar teeth were subjected to three consecutive demineralization cycles. These cycles were followed by remineralization of the experimental groups by toothpastes containing...
