This study compared surface roughness and gloss produced by different finishing/polishing procedures for two resin composites, Clearfil AP-X (AP-X) and Estelite Sigma (ES). A total of 70 composite discs (n=35 for each resin composite) were prepared and divided at random into seven finishing/polishing groups (n=5): glass-pressed control; using a super-fine-grit diamond bur (SF); using CompoMaste...

Currently, the genome sequencing community is producing shotgun sequence data at a very high rate, but finishing (collecting additional directed sequence data to close gaps and improve the quality of the data) is not matching that rate. One reason for the difference is that shotgun sequencing is highly automated but finishing is not: Most finishing decisions, such as which directed reads to obt...

In magnetic abrasive finishing (MAF), abrasive grains as a tool move on surface and can remove chip from surface of work piece. In this study AL 6061 tube was considered as the work piece and the effect of finishing parameters such as gap distance between tube and poles, rotational speed of tube, abrasive ration and finishing time on surface roughness was investigated. The mixture of ferromagne...

CAD/CAM dental restoration had become a sequence of digital tool and software to perform best esthetic with strong material. The effect only three marginal thickness (0.5,1.0 1.5mm) on fracture strength feldspathic ceramic (FSC) have been deal within present project Thirty-six (36) die model were tested in separate, load has carried out until catastrophic failure occurred using low speed video ...

AIM The purpose of this study was to assess the knowledge and practices of Saudi dentists in finishing and polishing composite restorations. MATERIALS AND METHODS A cross-sectional questionnaire-based study was conducted among 306 Saudi dentists from March to April 2012. The collected data were analyzed using Microsoft Excel 2010 program and descriptive statistics were obtained. RESULTS Com...

Magnetic abrasive machining is a surface finishing technique in which a magnetic field is used to force abrasive particles against the target surface. As such, finishing of conventionally inaccessible surfaces (e.g., the inside surface of a long curved pipe) is possible. The aim of this paper is to study maximum efficiency in terms of material removal rate with respect to magnetic flux density ...

In this study, the adsorption behavior of natural (clinoptilolite) zeolites with respect to Co(2+), Cu(2+), Zn(2+), and Mn(2+) has been studied in order to consider its application to purity metal finishing wastewaters. The batch method has been employed, using metal concentrations in solution ranging from 100 to 400 mg/l. The percentage adsorption and distribution coefficients (K(d)) were dete...

Introduction Four generic types of construction robots have been suggested in [4]. They were an assembling robot, an interior finishing robot, an exterior wall finishing robot, and a horizontal floor finishing robot. The interior finishing robot, as explained there, was designated to execute various interior finishing operations, such as partition erection, painting, plastering, jointing, tapin...

OBJECTIVE This study compared occlusal contact areas of ideally planned set-up and accomplished final models against the initial in class I and II molar relationships at finishing. METHODS Evaluations were performed for 41 post-orthodontic treatment cases, of which 22 were clinically diagnosed as class I and the remainder were diagnosed as full cusp class II. Class I cases had four first prem...
