(HP) penetration in teeth with incipient lesions submitted to bleaching treatment. For analysis of HP penetration, sound and demineralized enamel/dentin discs were placed in artificial pulp chambers containing acetate buffer solution. After bleaching treatment, this solution was subjected for analysis of optical density by spectrophotometry and the disc surfaces were analyzed with scanning elec...

For diagnostic or therapeutic technologies using femtosecond laser-induced optical breakdown (LIOB) in turbid biological tissues, pulses of sufficient fluence must be delivered to the site of interest. As light attenuates and diffuses rapidly due to wavelength-dependent absorption and scattering, it is important to develop penetration optimization schemes. In this study, we use a high frequency...

today, lasers are widely used in biology and medicine, and the majority of healthcenters and hospitals utilize modern laser systems for diagnosis and therapy applications.researchers have introduced different medical applications for different lasers used in surgeries and other medical treatments. medical lasers can be categorized in both diagnosis and therapy branches. main difference between ...

Background and objectives: The aim of the study was to evaluate the shear bond strength of brackets bonded with three bonding systems under laboratory conditions and to compare resin tag penetration after debonding. Materials and methods: The study was done on 60 extracted human premolar teeth, divided into three groups of 20 teeth each. Each group was bonded with three different types of bondi...

Alternaria fungi causes two different diseases on citrus in Mazandaran province, North of Iran: Alternaria brown spot of tangerine hybrids and Alternaria black rot of the Navel orange fruit. A. alternata, conidium germination, Inoculation, penetration and colonization on the plant surfaces studied using light and electrone microscopies. The tissues cutted to (2×2 mm) pieces and were fixed over ...

We study the lags with which new technologies are adopted across countries, and their penetration rates once they are adopted. Using data from the last two centuries, we estimate both the extensive and the intensive margins of technology adoption. We document two new facts: there has been convergence in adoption lags between rich and poor countries, while there has been divergence in penetratio...
