abstract statement of problem: there is no enough published data about the shear bond strength of resin modified glass ionomer adhesives on caries-affected primary tooth dentin excavated using minimally invasive systems. objectives: to evaluate the shear bond strength of 2 different adhesives (one resin modified glass ionomer and one resin) using two caries removal techniques on healthy and car...

conclusions algino-pectinate mucoadhesive formulations exhibited promising properties of a sustained release form for piroxicam and provided distinct tissue protection in stomach. objective the purpose of this research was to decrease gastric side effects of piroxicam by formulating microspheres of alginate and algino-pectinate beads of the drug. materials and methods ionotropic gelation was us...

Mucosa-adhesive gels can be used as a useful mean of delivering drugs to or via mucosal membranes, and in particular buccal mucosa. Carbomers are among the best mucosa-adhesive materials known. The aim of this study was to compare the results obtained from the mucosa-adhesive strength of aqueous gels containing Carbomers, either alone or in combination, to the data obtained from assessing the d...

introduction in this study, we have investigated the effect of using phosphoric acid on bonding efficacy of an all-in-one adhesive system, after salivary contamination of dentin. methods and materials eighty-four extracted human molars were prepared for their superficial dentins to be exposed. the molars separated into 7 groups. group 1 specimens were not contaminated. in groups 2-4, samples we...

abstract statement of problem: the viscosity of orthodontics adhesive primers is crucial for stability and correct brackets ‘position during bond up. an excessive adhesive flow during brackets seating could change the brackets’ position. objectives: the main purpose of this study was to investigate the viscosity of four orthodontic adhesive primers in two different temperatures. materials and m...

introduction: the aim of this study was to compare the microleakage of beneath the orthodontic brackets bonded with 3 different bonding techniques and evaluate the effect of thermocycling. methods: one hundred and twenty premolars were randomly divided into 6 groups, received the following treatment: group 1: 37% phosphoric acid gel+unite primer+unite adhesive, group 2: 37% phosphoric acid gel+...
