چکیده

Little is known about the effect of fluorides on bacteria. In large concentrations inorganic and organic fluoride compounds inhibit growth. Fluorine is not known to be an essential trace element for bacteria, fungi, or algae. Recently Davis and Dubos (1947) have shown that fluoride inhibits the action of a lipase on "tween 80" in concentrations that do not affect the growth of Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37RV. The following is an account of the effects of the fluoride ion on the metabolism of certain mycobacteria.

Sodium fluoride addition to a two-step etch-and-rinse adhesive system: effect on dentin microtensile bond strength and durability

Introduction: Studies have suggested that sodium fluoride (NaF) has an inhibitory effect on the activity of endogenous matrix metalloproteinase enzymes. This study assessed the effect of a fluoride-containing adhesive on microtensile bond strength (µTBS) over time. Material & Methods: In this experimental study, 36 extracted  third molars were used to evaluate the µTBS of...

THE EFFECT OF CRYOLITE NA3ALF6 AND SODIUM FLUORIDE NAF ON THE CORROSION AND WETTING BY MOLTEN AL-SI ALLOY OF ANDALUSITE BASED REFRACTORIES

In order to improve the corrosion resistance of aluminosilicate refractories by molten aluminum, alkaline fluoride NaF and cryolite Na3AlF6 powders were studied. Both physical and chemical properties are known to influence wetting and corrosion behavior. This paper devoted to determine the influence of alkaline fluoride and cryolite added to andalusite based castable on the reaction with a...

Optimized Method for Isolation of Nontuberculous Mycobacteria from Hospital Aquatic Sources

Background: Aquatic ecosystems are an important source of nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) that can cause different diseases in human. Since culture of mycobacteria needs long-term incubation, fast-growing microorganisms and contaminants in the environment usually prevents the isolation of mycobacteria. Here, we compare different treatment protocols and describe a method that increases the rec...
