Objective: To standardize the rotatory chair sinusoidal harmonic acceleration and velocity step tests in adult population. Study Design: Prospective study. Setting: Clinical tertiary care vestibular function test center. Patients: One hundred normal participants (66 male and 34 females without suspected vestibular disorder) evaluated with bithermal binaural caloric and sinusoidal and step-veloc...

the aim of this study was to assess the surface of yttrium-stabilized tetragonal zirconia (y-tzp) after surface treatment with lasers and airborne-particle abrasion.first, 77 samples of presintered zirconia blocks measuring 10 × 10 × 2 mm were made, sintered and polished. then, they were randomly divided into 11 groups (n=7) and received surface treatments namely, er:yag laser irradiation with ...

Background: Various treatment modalities are available to decrease the postoperative sensitivity of indirect resin composite restorations.
 Aim: Compare effectiveness immediate dentin sealing using universal adhesive and air abrasion versus without on in teeth prepared for Methods Materials: Twenty-eight patients between 18 30 years age were recruited randomized two protocols with fourteen...

OBJECTIVE To test the stability of two conventional adhesives when combined with a low-viscosity caries infiltrant used for sealing sound enamel against toothbrush abrasion and acid challenge in vitro. MATERIALS AND METHODS Bovine enamel discs (Ø = 3 mm) randomly assigned to three groups (n = 10/group) were etched with 37% phosphoric acid for 30 s and treated with resins of different monomer ...

Original scientific paper The experiment centres on two and three body abrasion in three-phase waste-based composite systems. The composite systems abrasion resistance is defined not only by the physical-mechanical relationships of the separate phases of the composite, but also by the mutual interaction of the phases and on the matrix-filler interface. To describe the composite system abrasion ...

Articular cartilage repair was followed for one year in skeletally mature dogs after destabilisation by anterior cruciate ligament transection of the stifle joint (CT), abrasion of the inferior medial condyle (ABR) to bleeding bone, or anterior cruciate transection followed by chondral abrasion (CT/ABR). ABR animals formed repair cartilage at the abrasion site (ABR and CT/ABR) at six months as ...
