background and aims: we aimed to assess the bond strength of composite resin to three pulp capping biomaterials; proroot mineral trioxide aggregate (pmta), root mta (rmta) and calcium enriched mixture (cem), using three bonding systems [a total etch (single bond) and two self-etch systems (protect bond and se bond)]. materials and methods: ninety acrylic moulds containing a 6×2 mm hole were div...

introduction: the aim of this study was to compare the micro-shear bond strength of composite resin on superficial and deep dentin after conditioning with phosphoric acid and erbium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet (er:yag) laser. methods: thirty human molars were selected, roots were removed and crowns were bisected to provide a total of 60 half-crowns. specimens were ground to expose superficial...

Versatility of Poly-Schiff Base Metal Complex Materials In article number 2101920, Minglong Yan, Yuhan Guo, and Wenjie Zhao develop a cross-linked, mechanically adjustable, self-healing entirely degradable poly-Schiff base metal complex materials with anti-biofouling potential, which is achieved by using the reversible bond imine part, ion-ligand coordination crystallites to jointly adjust thei...

The complex H2SO4-H2O has been observed by rotational spectroscopy in a supersonic jet. A-type spectra for 18 isotopic forms have been analyzed, and the vibrationally averaged structure of the system has been determined. The complex forms a distorted, six-membered ring with the water unit acting as both a hydrogen bond donor and a hydrogen bond acceptor toward the sulfuric acid. One of the H2SO...
