The primary objective of this in vitro study was to compare the absolute marginal discrepancy (AMD) of CAD/CAM produced Procera AllCeram crown copings, fabricated on die stone master models of two different tooth groups, incisor and molar. Two maxillary central incisors and two first molars typodont teeth were prepared with 0.8 mm of circumferential chamfer, duplicated 9 times to obtain 36 die ...

The aim of the study was to characterise the multi-elemental composition and associations between a group of 32 elements and 16 rare earth elements collected by mycelium from growing substrates and accumulated in fruiting bodies of Macrolepiota procera from 16 sites from the lowland areas of Poland. The elements were quantified by inductively coupled plasma quadrupole mass spectrometry using va...

AIM The objective of this study was to compare the film thickness of a light body polyvinylsiloxane addition silicone impression material using the "replica technique" (RT) to the film thickness resulting from the cementation of Procera copings. METHODS AND MATERIALS Twenty Procera copings were fabricated on ten casts each having one central incisor and one premolar. The thickness of the ligh...

Ephedra prcera belonging to the family Ephedraceae is a poison and medicinal plant. The main aim of present study was to determine total phenolic content and antioxidant and antibacterial activities of ethanolic extract from the aerial parts of E. procera collected from a natural habitat in Chaharmahal va Bakhtiari province, Southwestern Iran. The total phenolic content of the extract by Folin-...

The work delt with the growth-inhibitory impact of methanolic extract of Calotropis procera leaves on five pathogenic bacteria, analysed by agar diffusion and broth dilution methods. By agar diffusion method, the extract was found very effective against B. subtilis (MIC= 2.5 mg), while moderate activity was noted against P. mirabilis (MIC= 5 mg). Zone of inhibition was not found for P. aerugino...

Calotropis procera (Aiton) W.T.Aiton presents high levels of medicinally important terpenes and phenolics with antiinflammatory, antimicrobial, antioxidant properties. The present study aimed to develop a suitable platform for mass production pharmacological metabolites improvement activity C. procera. Motivated by such aim, potential effects Fe3O4 nanoparticles (Fe3O4 NPs) salicylic acid (SA) ...

Infectious diseases are responsible for thousands of worldwide early death .Many commercial antibiotics have been used to control human's infectious diseases all over the world. Calotropis procera Linn a wild growing plant of Asclepiadaecae family is known to possess multifarious medicinal properties. Total 80 non repetitive clinical E. coli strains recovered during 7 month, a...

The present study analyses the distribution and diversity of sipunculan species inhabiting soft substrata in the Gulf of Valencia and Cape Nao (western Mediterranean) in relation to the characteristics of the sediment. Eighty-seven stations in 14 localities were sampled annually from 2004 to 2008. Nine species were reported, with Aspidosiphon (Aspidosiphon) muelleri being the dominant species i...

Background and Aims: This study aims to determine total phenolic, flavonoid contents in vitro biological activities of methanol (CEP-1), n-butanol (CEP-2), water (CEP-3), n-hexane (CEP-4) extracts obtained from Cephalaria procera. Methods: The phenolic content analysis, DPPH radical scavenging activities, cholinesterase, tyrosinase inhibitory properties the were evaluated using spectrophotometr...
