BACKGROUND The long-term capability of resin sealants and glass ionomer cements to release fluoride is associated to a reduction in pit and fissure caries. The regular use of fluoride varnishes/toothpastes can result in the absorption of fluoride into the sealant. The objective of the present study was to assess the fluoride release/uptake capacities of different fissure sealants. MATERIAL AN...

A new electronic configuration reference space (subsequently used in multi-reference averaged coupled pair functional (MR-ACPF) or multi-reference configuration interaction singles and doubles [MR-CI(SD)] level treatments of electron correlation) is determined using the aug-cc-pVQZ basis set as a step toward constructing a new potential energy surface (PES) for the F H2 3 FH H reaction. We use ...

The performance of the [2]S and [2]R12 universal perturbative corrections that account for oneand many-body basis set errors of singleand multiconfiguration electronic structure methods is assessed. A new formulation of the [2]R12 methods is used in which only strongly occupied orbitals are correlated, making the approach more amenable for larger computations. Three model problems are considere...
