Strengthening of Resilon-filled roots via an adhesive interface should be reflected by improvement in the interfacial strength and dislocation resistance between the root fillings and intraradicular dentin. This study compared the interfacial strengths of Resilon/Epiphany and gutta-percha/AH Plus using a thin-slice push-out test design. Failure modes of root slices after push-out testing were e...

Epigenetics refers to changes in a biological phenotype that are not due to an underlying change in genotype. In eukaryotes, epigenetics involves a set of chemical modifications of the DNA and the histone proteins in nucleosomes. These dynamic changes are carried out by enzymes and modulate protein-protein and protein-nucleic acid interactions to determine whether specific genes are expressed o...

Abstract Breakthrough research in scientific fields usually comes as a manifestation of major development and advancement. These advances build to an epiphany where new ways thinking about problem become possible. Identifying breakthrough can be useful for cultivating funding further innovation. This article presents method identifying breakthroughs from papers based on cue words commonly assoc...

In the infinite mass limit for a heavy quark its spin decouples from the QCD dynamics, which leads to the heavy-quark spin symmetry. After a short discussion of spin symmetry some applications are considered. Contribution to the Crakow Epiphany Conference on Spin Effects in Particle Physics January 9–11, 1998, Crakow, Poland.

introduction: vertical root fracture inevitably leads to tooth extraction. thus, root filling with obturating materials and sealers that can reinforce the tooth would be an ideal way to reduce fracture in root treated teeth. this study aimed to assess the fracture resistance of roots following the application of different sealers including epiphany, iroot sealer and ah-plus. methods and materia...

Background: The objective of three-dimensional obturation is to completely seal the canal system from any bacterial ingress from the oral cavity and periradicular tissues. The aim of the study to compare the push-out bond strength of the smart seal C-point obturating system with epiphany resilon obturation system and the gold standard gutta-percha/AH plus system. Materials and Methods: Thirty e...
