statement of the problem : tooth restorations are exposed to stresses which produce marginal gaps resulting in microleakage. purpose in this study, microleakage of light-cured glass-ionomer and compomer class v restorations was evaluted and compared under cyclic loading materials and methods in this exprimental study, class v cavities were prepared on the buccal surfaces of maxillary premolars ...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of nanofilled protective resin coating (RC) on the surface roughness (Ra) and color stability (ΔE) of resin-based restorative materials (RM) (compomer (C), nanofilled composite (NF), and microhybrid composite (MH)) after being submitted to the ultraviolet aging (UV) method. Thirty-six specimens were prepared (n = 6 for each group). The Ra and (Δ...

Composite fermions (CFs), exotic particles formed by pairing an even number of flux quanta to each electron, provide a fascinating description of phenomena exhibited by interacting two-dimensional electrons at high magnetic fields. At and near Landau level filling ν=1/2, CFs occupy a Fermi sea and exhibit commensurability effects when subjected to a periodic potential modulation. We observe a p...

One of the main endeavors in today’s Life Science remains the efficient sequencing of long DNA molecules. Today, most de-novo sequencing of DNA is still performed using electrophoresis-based Sanger Sequencing, based on the Sanger concept of 1977. Methods using mass spectrometry to acquire the Sanger Sequencing data are limited by short sequencing lengths of 15–25 nt. Recently, we proposed a new...

The success rate of the given fixed partial denture and longevity is depend on tooth preparation usage luting cement under prosthesis. Luting plays an important role in maintaining or securing prosthesis cemented position. should be bio compatible, it non-irritating to underlying structure pulp, maintain adequate marginal seal. In recent days so many newer cements has been introduced dentistry,...

A composite chiral metamaterial (CCMM) is designed and studied both numerically and experimentally. The CCMM is constructed by the combination of a continuous metallic wires structure and a purely chiral metamaterial (CMM) that consists of conjugated Rosettes. For the CMM, only very small, useful bands of negative index can be obtained for circularly polarized waves. These bands are all above t...

The aim of the present study was to compare the translucency of different shades of two highly aesthetic multilayered restorative composite resins. In total nine shades from Esthet.X and ten shades from Filtek Supreme composite resins were chosen. Discs of each shade were prepared (N = 3) and light-cured. Total and diffuse transmittance values for each sample were measured. Statistical analysis...

The objective of this study was to determine the viscoelastic properties of different types of glass ionomer cements (GICs) and compomers under varying temperature conditions found in the mouth. The materials tested were a conventional GIC (Aqua Ionofil U), a resin modified GIC (Fuji II LC), a highly viscous GIC (Voco Ionofil Molar), and two polyacid modified composite resins/compomers (Glasios...

The 24Hour Knowledge Factory is a service oriented architecture model that goes beyond the conventional global delivery model. It involves round-the-clock operations through the establishment of three or more development teams around the globe. Complex projects are iteratively broken down into simpler modules, with each “composite persona” (CP) being responsible for one such model. Developers a...
