Abstract Aim The purpose of this study was to compare and evaluate the flexural strength modulus elasticity three adhesive luting cements as a function specimen age, effect storage media, curing through porcelain. Materials Methods Twenty samples fabricated for self-cure resin-modified glass ionomer cement (GIC; RelyX Luting 2, 3M ESPE, United States) were classified group 1, whereas 40 two dua...

Aim: The aim of this study was to compare by means Push-Out test the difference in bond strength two different luting agents with fibre post, and effect anatomical root levels on each cement. Materials Methods: A total 40 freshly extracted maxillary central incisor canine teeth were included study. divided into groups twenty each, assigned Groups B according agent (light cure, dual cure) used c...

Purpose: To assess the degree of conversion (DC) dual-curing composite cements when cured through ceramic-veneered zirconia disks. Methods: Portions mixed cement, either G-CEM LinkForce (GC), Panavia V5 (Kuraray Noritake) or ResiCEM (Shofu), were placed on ATR crystal a Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscope (FTIR; iS50, Thermo Scientific) and squeezed to 100-µm film thickness using microscopy...

introduction: in the present study, the effects of light cure on wound healing of mice’s skin with complete thickness were studied. materials and methods: forty male mice of nmri race were placed randomly into two groups of examination and control. under aseptic and unconscious conditions, a circular wound of 6 mm width with complete thickness of skin was made on the back of each mice. the surg...

Dental bulk-fill restorations with resin-composites (RBC) are increasing in popularity, but doubts concerning insufficient curing in depth still disconcert clinicians. An alternative might be offered by modern dual-cured RBCs, which additionally provide bioactive properties. This study assessed the impact of additional light-curing on polymerization kinetics, the degree of conversion (DC) and m...

HYPOTHESIS We aimed to validate the effectiveness of a protocol for primary hyperparathyroidism in which intraoperative parathyroid hormone measurement (IOPTH) was not routinely used during minimally invasive parathyroidectomy for patients with dual localization by technetium Tc 99m sestamibi (MIBI) and ultrasonography and hypothesized that our rate of surgical failure would be less than 3% for...
