statement of problem: endodontically treated teeth are more prone to fracture. the post and core are often used to provide the necessary retention for prosthetic rehabilitation. objectives: the purpose of this study was to: 1) compare the fracture strength of endodontically treated teeth restored either with nickel-chromium (ni- cr) post or non- precious gold-color alloy (npg) post compared to ...

Five non-precious Ni-Co based alloys were analyzed with respect to their corrosion behaviour. The correlation between the amount of the elements Cr, Mo, V and the corrosion behaviour, expressed by the PREN (pitting resistance equivalent number) index in the case of the allied steels, was extended for Ni-Cr and Co-Cr dental alloys characterization. Open circuit potential, corrosion current densi...

Cellulose-based Ni/Cr (Ni/Cr-C) and cellulose-based Zn/Cr (Zn/Cr-C) composite materials have been successfully carried out, which is indicated by the XRD, FTIR, BET analysis. Layered double hydroxide (Ni/Cr-LDH) increased surface area from 0.128 m2/g to 2.207 in Ni/Cr-C composites, layered (Zn/Cr-LDH) also 0.133 3.714 Zn/Cr-C composites. The pHpzc of material this study pH 5.94-8.43, while opti...

The steady-state creep rate of Ni-base metallic foams, with superalloy composition (in wt. pct) Ni7.8∼9.1Al (relative density, ρ = 2.5-2.6) and Ni-13.5∼16.6Cr-5.1∼8.9Al (ρ = 2.8∼3.0), was measured under a range of temperatures (680∼825°C) and applied stresses (0.1∼0.3 MPa), and compared with that of NiAl intermetallic foams (ρ = 5.3). The stress exponent and activation energy are within the exp...

Background and Aim: High chipping rates of the veneering porcelain in zirconia ce-ramic restorations have been reported in many clinical studies. However, information on the bonding behavior of veneering porcelain to zirconia and lithium disilicate frameworks is limited. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the bond-ing strength of porcelain veneering to zirconia, lithium disilicate, nicke...

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of metal ions, which may be released from orthopedic or dental implants, on osteoblast metabolism and differentiation. ROS 17/2.8 cells were cultured in F-12 medium for 7 days. Then Al+3, Co+2, Cr+3, Ni+2, Ti+4, and V+3 were added at concentrations less than their cytotoxic concentrations. After 3 days, DNA synthesis, succinate dehydrogena...

In the title compound, [Cr(2)Ni(C(16)H(14)N(2)O(2))(2)(CN)(4)(C(10)H(24)N(4))]·2CH(3)OH, each [Cr(salen)(CN)(2)] unit {salen is 2,2'-[ethane-1,2-diylbis(nitrilo-methyl-idyne)]diphenolate} acts as a monodentate ligand through one of its two cyanide groups N bound to a central [Ni(cyclam)](2+) core (cyclam is 1,4,8,11-tetra-azacyclo-tetra-deca-ne). Each Cr(III) ion is coordinated by two N and two...
