bond failure of brackets during orthodontic treatment is a common problem; which results in treatment interference, increased treatment time and prolonged clinical time for rebonding of failed brackets. the purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of coca-cola and a non-alcoholic beer on the shear bond strength and adhesive remnant index (ari) of orthodontic metal brackets in vitro.eig...

statement of the problem: in the evolution of orthodontics, the changes in soft tissue, especially smile line attracts considerable attention. purpose: the present study was carried out to evaluate the correlation of the smile line with the vertical parameters of anterior part of face. materials and methods: forty-six iranian adults, aged between 18-25 years were selected. five quantitative and...

background and aim: oral mucosal lesions have various prevalence rates among different populations. few studies have evaluated the frequency of oral mucosal lesions in iranian population. this study aimed to determine the frequency of oral mucosal lesions and the related factors.                        materials and methods: this descriptive study was conducted based on the data in the archives...

the investigation and determination of the significance of neovascularization in the progression of soft tissue sarcoma is currently of increasing clinical importance. microvessel density is the morphologic evidence of neoangiogenesis in the process of malignant progression of sarcomata. this brief review of the markers commonly used in clinical practice was undertaken to determine the validity...

a high performance liquid chromatographic method with ultra violet detection for simultaneous analysis of six benzodiazepines (bzds) (chlordiazepoxide, diazepam, clonazepam, midazolam , flurazpam and lorazepam) has been developed for forensic screening of adulterated non-alcoholic drinks. samples were analyzed after a simple procedure for preparation using ph adjustment and filtering. isocratic...

objective: at present, growth factor-containing products such as enamel matrix derivatives, recombinant bone morphogenetic protein (rh-bmp), recombinant platelet derived growth factor and platelet rich plasma (prp) have gained increasing attention. prp is an autologous source of platelet growth factors used to enhance healing of soft and hard tissues. prp has gained popularity due to its autolo...

In this research study, we present a novel frame work for handling bipolar fuzzy soft information by combining bipolar fuzzy soft sets with graphs. We introduce several basic notions concerning bipolar fuzzy soft graphs and investigate some related properties. We also consider the application of the bipolar fuzzy soft graphs. In particular, three efficient algorithms are developed to solve mult...

In this paper we introduce the concept of $(1,2)^*$-sb-separated sets and $(1,2)^*$-soft b-connected spaces and prove some properties related to these break topics. Also we disscused the properties of $(1,2)^*$-soft b- compactness in soft bitopological space

background: marine pollution is a global environmental problem that its monitoring by ideal biomonitors is of great importance. marine organisms, especially mussels, have the ability to accumulate metals from the environment they can be considered as a biomonitoring agent. methods: in this study, concentrations of heavy metals were measured in saccostrea cucullata collected from seven sites on ...
