introduction: solubility of mineral trioxide aggregate (mta) is an important characteristic that affects other properties such as microleakage and biocompatibility. distilled water (dw) has previously been used for solubility tests. this experimental study compared the solubility of mta in dw, synthetic tissue fluid (stf) and new simulated plasma (sp). methods and materials: in this study, 36 s...

PURPOSE Restoration of endodontically treated teeth using fiber posts in a one-stage procedure gains more popularity and aims to create a secondary monoblock. Data of detailed analyses of so called "post-and-core-systems" with respect to morphological characteristics of the resin-dentin interface in combination with bond strength measurements of fiber posts luted with these materials are scarce...

Introduction: predictive equations to estimate body fat based on simple anthropometric parameters are easy use in the clinical practice. Objective: evaluate relationship between and bioelectrical impedance individuals undergoing bariatric surgery. Methods: a prospective longitudinal study carried out with Body weight, mass index, waist circumference percentage estimated by were evaluated at thr...

background: application of bonding agents (ba) into deep cavities and light curing them might increase pulpal temperature and threaten its health. the purpose of this study was to evaluate temperature rise of pulp by light curing six ba using two different light curing units (lcu), through a dent in wall of 0.5 mm. materials and methods: this in vitro experiment was carried out on 96 slices of ...

Background. One of the problems with composite resin restorations is gap formation at resin‒tooth interface. The present study evaluated the effect of preheating cycles of silorane- and dimethacrylate-based composite resins on gap formation at the gingival margins of Class V restorations. Methods. In this in vitro study, standard Class V cavities were prepared on the buccal surfaces of 48 bovin...
