This study evaluated the histological pulp responses of four different adhesive resin systems placed directly on exposed pulp tissue. Gap formation between the respective resin and cavity walls was observed and correlated to the pulpal response. Occlusal cavity preparations creating mechanical pulp exposures were prepared in molars of wistar rats. Preparations were filled using one of the follo...

Submitted for the MAR11 Meeting of The American Physical Society Motion of Elastic Microcapsules on Compliant Surfaces with Adhesive Ligands EGOR MARESOV, GERMAN KOLMAKOV, ANNA BALAZS, University of Pittsburgh — By integrating mesoscale models for hydrodynamics, micromechanics and adhesion, we examine the fluid driven motion of elastic microcapsules on compliant surfaces. The capsules, modeled ...

background and aims. the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of dilution and curing methods of an etch-and-rinse adhesive and a self-etching primer from the same manufacturer at early exposure time on cytotoxicity of primary hu-man gingival fibroblasts. materials and methods. primary human gingival fibroblasts were exposed to different dilutions of adper single bond (asb) and adper pro...

The bidirectional 3[Formula: see text] method is an electrothermal technique that commonly used to obtain the thermal conductivity of materials such as liquids, biological samples, and pastes. In this work, epoxy-based adhesive was filled with monodisperse 10 μm polymethyl methacrylate spheres coated silver thin films (AgPS), a metallic network dominated transport formed through composite. cond...

This study aimed to compare the effect of four irrigation solutions for post space cleaning on bond strength between glass fiber and root dentine. Forty bovine roots were root-filled randomly divided into groups (n=10), according solution: CG (Control Group): saline solution; SH (Sodium Hypochlorite Group); CLX (Chlorhexidine group) EDTA (ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid group). Specimens submit...

mucosa-adhesive gels can be used as a useful mean of delivering drugs to or via mucosal membranes, and in particular buccal mucosa. carbomers are among the best mucosa-adhesive materials known. the aim of this study was to compare the results obtained from the mucosa-adhesive strength of aqueous gels containing carbomers, either alone or in combination, to the data obtained from assessing the d...
