The Oolithe Blanche Formation (Bathonian, Middle Jurassic) is one of the deep saline aquifers of the Paris Basin in France. The spatial distribution of its reservoir properties (porosity, permeability, tortuosity, etc.) is now better known with relatively homogeneous properties, except for some levels in the central part of the basin, where permeability exhibits higher values. This spatial dist...

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to assess the push-out bond strength of glass fiber posts to root dentin after cementation with glass ionomer (GICs) and resinmodified glass ionomer cements (RMGICs). MATERIAL AND METHODS Fifty human maxillary canines were transversally sectioned at 15 mm from the apex. Canals were prepared with a step back technique until the application of a #55 K-fil...

The major disadvantage of cement-retained implant-supported fixed partial dentures (FPDs) is difficulty in retrievability. The retentive strengths of the provisional luting agents usually employed in these cases are therefore an important consideration. This study evaluated the cement failure loads of 4 provisional luting agents used for the cementation of FPDs supported by 2 implants or 4 impl...

AIM To review the literature on the sealing ability of esthetic post systems with different cementation techniques. BACKGROUND An important factor for successful root canal treatment is the development of a coronal seal to the treated root canal system. Review result: The current literature describes promising results using fiber posts with a dual-cure, self-etch resin cement system. However,...

It has been reported in the literature that impingement of the casting at the axial-occlusal line angle of the tooth preparation may be a major cause of incomplete seating following cementation. It has been suggested that an additional coat of spacer applied to these areas on the laboratory die before the fabrication of the casting may alleviate this discrepancy. This study evaluated the effect...

The diagenetic changes of the Lower-Middle Eocene limestones in the area to the west of AssiutMinia Stretch include the following processes: compaction, cementation, neomorphism, silicification, glauconitization and ferrugination. The compaction is represented by mechanical and chemical types. Cementation is either shallow submarine (represented by micrite, fibrous calcite and isopachous calcit...

The objective of the present study was to evaluate the influence of resin cement thickness on the bond strength of prefabricated and customized glass fiber posts after storage in distilled water. Thirty human uniradicular roots were treated endodontically. The roots were divided into 3 groups: THIN (thin cement layer) - post space preparation with #0.5 drill and cementation of #0.5 post; THICK ...

This study evaluated the influence of the cementation system on the regional push-out bond strength and failure pattern of fiber posts to radicular dentin. The roots of 48 extracted human incisors were prepared and divided into 3 groups (n = 16), according to the cementation system: AdperScotchbond Multi-Purpose + resin cement RelyX ARC (SBMP+ARC); Adper SingleBond 2 + RelyX ARC (SB+ARC) and; R...
