BACKGROUND The emergency department of Embhuleni Hospital frequently manages patients with glass-related injuries. This study assessed these injuries and the glass that caused them in more detail. AIM The objectives of our study included determining the type of glass causing these injuries and describing the circumstances associated with different types of glass injuries. SETTING The emerge...

Introduction: The aim of this study was to evaluate the sealing ability of Bioactive glass (BG) and Bioactive glass-Hydroxyapatite (BG-HA) in comparison to Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA). Methods: The sealing ability of Bioactive glass and Bioactive glass-hydroxyapatite mixed with glass ionomer cement and Mineral Trioxide Aggregate used as retrograde filling material was assessed by bacterial...

Glass is widely used in our lives through manufactured products such as sheet glass, bottles, glassware, and vacuum tubing. Glass is an ideal material for recycling. The use of recycled glass helps in energy saving. The increasing awareness of glass recycling speeds up inspections on the use of waste glass with different forms in various fields. One of its significant contributions is to the co...

Significant differences exist in the performance of various architectural glass types subjected to simulated earthquake conditions. Controlled laboratory studies were conducted to investigate the cracking resistance and fallout resistance of different types of architectural glass installed in the same storefront and mid-rise wall systems. Quantitative data obtained from these studies are summar...

bioactive materials including glass and glass-ceramics are nowadays used as medical implants for orthopedic applications. in this study several samples of glass-ceramics have been prepared using both heat treatment and sol-gel processes. the structure and bioactivity of these samples based on their interaction with simulated body fluid (sbf) have been determined. in-vitor, using the raman spect...

the purpose of this study was to evaluate the use of glass capillary micropipette (gcm) as a vessel forvitrification of bovine oocytes. cumulus-oocyte complexes (cocs) were obtained from slaughter-house andwashed 5 to 6 times in the washing medium (tcm-199 + 20% fbs) and randomly assigned to treatment andcontrol group. in the first step of vitrification, cocs were exposed to first vitrification...

statement of the problem : tooth restorations are exposed to stresses which produce marginal gaps resulting in microleakage. purpose in this study, microleakage of light-cured glass-ionomer and compomer class v restorations was evaluted and compared under cyclic loading materials and methods in this exprimental study, class v cavities were prepared on the buccal surfaces of maxillary premolars ...

one of the main criteria in evaluating the restorative materials is the degree of microleakage. the aim of this study was to compare the microleakage of glass ionomer restored cavities prepared by er:yag laser or turbine and bur.twenty extracted caries-free deciduous posterior teeth were selected for this study. the teeth were randomly divided into two groups for cavity preparation. cavities in...
