The development and reliability of adhesive resin composite systems have offered clinicians a further option for the management of tooth-surface loss. Patients with minimum, moderate, and severe hard tissue wear can be treated based on the application of minimally invasive adhesive composite restorations for posterior and anterior worn dentition. This article presents the "index technique", a n...

OBJECTIVES To design an in-situ gelling hydrogel capable of solidifying rapidly under physiologic conditions into a hydrogel capable of adhering tissue surfaces together. DESIGN Multifunctional polymers containing covalently bound peptide substrates of transglutaminase were designed. EXPERIMENTAL VARIABLE Enzyme cross-linked hydrogels were compared with commercial fibrin tissue adhesive. ...

The aim of this study was to evaluate biocompatibility of an etch-and-rinse adhesive system based in tertiary butanol applied in deep cavity human teeth with approximately 1 mm of remaining dentin by observing histological changes of the pulp tissue of humans at intervals of 01, 07, 14 and 21 days. Twenty third molars with indication for xtraction from patients of both sexes, presenting no syst...

BACKGROUND Healing of an anterior cruciate ligament graft in a bone tunnel occurs by formation of fibrous scar tissue, which is weaker than the normal fibrocartilaginous insertion. HYPOTHESIS We hypothesized that a magnesium-based bone adhesive would improve tendon-to-bone healing in a rabbit anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction model. STUDY DESIGN Controlled laboratory study. METHOD...

The influence of neuron-adhesive pattern geometry on long-term survival of cortical neural tissue (rat brain) was studied over a time period of 15 days. Microwells (depth 0.5 μm) with diameters of 25, 50, 100 and 150 μm and inter-microwell distances of 15, 30, 60 and 90 μm, were etched in a neuron-repellent fluorocarbon (FC)-layer and coated with neuron-adhesive polyethylenimine (PEI). Results ...

Abstract Aim This study evaluates the versatility and performance of a novel adhesive for atraumatic hernia mesh fixation. The TISSIUM is biodegradable biocompatible viscous liquid that can be precisely applied to different tissue mesh.1 Once in place, surgeon utilizes light probe polymerize adhesive, creating flexible elastomeric connection provides strong, durable Materials Methods when used ...
