OBJECTIVES The objective of this in vitro study was to evaluate the fatigue crack growth properties of the dentin/resin adhesive interface. METHODS Compact tension (CT) specimens were prepared from coronal dentin, resin composite, and dentin bonded to resin composite using Optibond Solo Plus adhesive. All specimens were then subjected to cyclic Mode I loading while fully hydrated at a stress ...

background and aim: present study was designed to compare the bonding strength of resin-modified glass ionomer (rmgi) and composite resin to mineral trioxide aggregate (mta), mta mixed with na2hpo4 (namta), and calcium-enriched mixture (cem). materials and methods: thirty specimens of each cem, namta, and mta were prepared. composite and rmgi restorations were then placed on the samples (15 sam...

the sorption and desorption behaviors of eu(iii) from aqueous solutions with cation exchange resins containing carboxyl groups (d155 resin) were studied in terms of varied eu(iii) concentration, adsorbent dosage, ph, contact time and temperature. batch shaking sorption experiments were carried out to evaluate the performance of d155 resin in the removal of eu(iii) from aqueous solutions. the lo...

An extension of our methodology on solid-phase synthesis of 3,4,5-trisubstituted-1,2,4-triazoles under mild conditions has been developed. Firstly, the resin-bound acylhydrazine is reacted with orthoesters to provide resin-bound 1,3,4oxadiazoles. Secondly, condensation of 1,3,4-oxadiazoles resin with the corresponding arylamines hydrochloride to form the resin-bound triazoles. 3,4,5-Trisubstitu...

A chitosan resin functionalized with 3-nitro-4-amino benzoic acid moiety (CCTS-NABA resin) was newly synthesized for the collection/concentration of trace molybdenum by using cross-linked chitosan (CCTS) as base material. The carboxyl group of the moiety was chemically attached to amino group of cross-linked chitosan through amide bond formation. The adsorption behavior of molybdenum as well as...

Purpose: Denture-related stomatitis is probably the most common form of oral candidiasis and its reported prevalence varies widely ranging up to 65%. In this in vitro study, we evaluate the effect of delmopinol application on Candida albicans adherence on heat-cured acrylic resin, cold-cured acrylic resin and microwave-cured acrylic resin. Materials and methods: A total of 40 specimens of each ...

CONTEXT Resin luting of all-ceramic restorations results in increased performance; however, the strengthening mechanism and the role of the mechanical properties of the resin are not fully understood. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of filler content on the flexural properties of resin luting agents and thereby selecting an appropriate resin luting cement. MATE...

OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to enhance curing light penetration through resin inlays by modifying the thicknesses of the dentin, enamel, and translucent layers. MATERIALS AND METHODS To investigate the layer dominantly affecting the power density of light curing units, resin wafers of each layer with 0.5 mm thickness were prepared and power density through resin wafers was measur...

fiber post (GFP) treated or not with phosphoric acid, silane coupling agent, and unfilled resin. GFPs were etched or not with 37% phosphoric acid and different surface coating applied: silane coupling agent, unfilled resin, or both. Composite resin blocks were built around a 4-mm height on the GFP. Unfilled resin (20 s) and composite resin (40 s) were light activated by a light-emitting diode u...

Resin is a chemical and physical defensive barrier secreted by many plants, especially coniferous trees, with insecticidal and antimicrobial properties. The degradation of terpenes, the main components accounting for the toxicity of resin, is highly relevant for a vast range of biotechnological processes, including bioremediation. In the present work, we used a resin-based selective medium in o...
